It wasn't so much the plastic windows as it was the black seat covers absorbing the concentrated rays of the sun. Premier is the only one that I am aware of who offers black seat covers.
If I pull the black seat cover back there is no issue as the vinyl is a light beige color. This only happens at the seat back cushion just forward of the helm where the light reflects off the plastic windshield. And yes, it was calm the day I noticed my seat smoking.
You can see in the web cam pic below, I have a white towel over the problem area until I can have a white piece of nylon sewn in which will eliminate the problem altogether...
