Even more insidious is that the combination of the concave bowing and the 
infra-red reflection focuses the reflected sunlight on the 
neighbors' vinyl siding, melting it right off the wall. This is no joke, 
there are 5 cases of it within three blocks of my own house here in 
Portland. It is happening all around the country and one of the national 
news programs (ala 60 Minutes?) had an item on in last year. Even so, it is 
one of the best kept secrets in the vinyl replacement industry, 
though it is well recognized by industry insiders since about 6 years 
ago when "reflected window light" disclaimer clauses started appearing in 
vinyl window and siding sales contracts and warrantees.
This is the coolest thing I have heard on this listserv.  And it may be no 
joke ... but it is hilarious!!   c
