My brother had just baught a new 2002 wing. He and his wife were on a trip from Ohio to Las Vegas. They pulled into a motel later one afternoon and parked in front of their room with the Wing pointed east. The next morning they were loading up when they noticed aa place on each side of the side covers where the plastic was melted in a small area. Thinking it was vandalism they went on down the road. Later that day they stopped for lunch and fuel. There they met another Wing rider ans started talking about the incident. Come to find out the other guy had suffered the same thing and knew the answer. Seems that the afternoon sun had reflected off the mirrers and focused on those spots. Wierd but true. This was confermed by a Honda dealer and a call to Honda USA.
