The combination of temperature (Really hot with AC on) + some compression effect (like the camry owner reported) now seems more likely to me. (I guess I don't want to believe YR implied theory!) Toyotas are amazingly air tight. Maybe I can get MythBusters to test some of these theories.

wow i hope i don't have this problem when i get mine since we live in the same area :-o at least it won't be as hot by the time i can afford it =)
