It is melted on the inside. Is dished in some on the outside with cracks radiating out from the dished melted area you can see and feel with a fingernail.

My guess is when parked in the sun, light was reflected from the reflector and melted it. Other theories are welcome.
The sun reflector idea makes sense to me. Ive used solar ovens when backpacking. They get HOT
