I left a Kydex holder for my Streamlight Scorpion in my car in Houston heat for about 2 weeks. The clip that attaches to the belt bent completely upwards to a 90-degree angle. My only explanation is the heat and humidity. Have any of you guys experienced this with a Kydex holster?

that is some kid of strange Kydex
The stuff I use for my holsters softens at 300F
Don't think a car in Texas can get that hot.
BTW I'll form it back up for you if you want to pay the shipping.

I had a Fist holster that I had left in my wife's car empty and though you could tell by looking at it, it had changed shape enough to cause problems (trigger guard retention, and opening).
Fist uses pretty thin kydex, but that's why I like it. I can get a 4" S&W 610 IWB.
I contacted Fist about it, sent it in, and received it back in great condition!!! I highly recommend Fist.
I also have a Cen-Dex holster that stays in the car year-round with no problems, but then it is close to 1/8" thick Kydex.
