Curious for those that have the black version, how hot does the lid get?

How much heat builds up inside the bed area on a summer afternoon? (I know every cover will increase temps due to no airflow, but just trying to get an idea if it turns the thing into an oven and everything has to be 300* safe to survive kind of thing)

(I know some epoxies start to soften in the mid 200* range, and that could potentially ruin expensive fly rods or my archery equipment FAST)

I park mine in the shade, but it is no hotter to me than the bak-flips I've had, and way more secure. Have you contacted Diamondback? they answered all my questions. If you find out an official answer let us know. Now I’m curious.
