This is a looooooonnnngggggg standing rule my friend. Nothing good comes out of plastics left in a closed car with high temps. Hope you can get it fixed.

Ohhh, nasty!!
I'd remove the stickers entirely, if they feel like they're going to tear use a hair dryer on a low setting and slowly peel them off.
Then stick them to some grease prooof/baking paper and sit them under something heavy with even pressure for a few days.
Before you reapply them I'd put a new layer of non-setting sticker style adhesive on them and then reapply them.
Should work nicely! Good luck, Andre!
Rock On.

skateboards are also ruined when left in hot cars for extended periods of time. the sun is the life giver and the destroyer

That happened to mine the first day i owned it.
I brought it out on the front porch while I was watching my son skate.
The decal in the LED window melted like a shrinky dink.
Never seen anything like that with a boombox , I was so pissed I almost sent
it back for a refund.
Unfortunately here is no flattening these out when this happens as the plastic gets deformed and hard.
It wasn't very hot that day so it doesn't take much for this to happen.
If I were to leave my I-931 in the car here in Florida i probably would return to find a blackish green blob
in place of where i left it.
I love My Lasonics but i will never put them any where close to the heat.

So, we are given lower quality items as consumers these days, and our response is to blame any problems on ourselves.
The Chinese must be laughing at us.
This reminds me of an apartment I was once in. Everything was bought from the cheapest material. Towels would fall to the floor not because you missed the rack, but because the entire rack came down. Cabinets were bent horizonally..they couldnt take the weight of the groceries.
Boomboxes are designed to be portable, which means they should be able to survive a FULL day on the beach, with no problem. If your Lasonic is under warranty, take the whole thing back. Tell them you need something that will last for a walk in the park, in the sun. In short, you need a real product.
As for never leaving electronics in the car, are you suggesting you take your car radio out every time you leave it? No, of course not.
It is all about quality.

That is really poor build quality. Boomboxes are meant to be hard wearing and portable.

There a no boomboxes that can handle being in a car. These Lasonic stickers might melt faster, but any of these radios will distort. It's just common sense (no offense). A cars interior will hit 160 degrees on a 90 degree day. Of course I'm from Southern California where we see triple digits all summer long, so we know this is something you NEVER DO! I would never even leave my radios in the trunk

100% whit that. Why our car speakers are not melting 
. Why not distorting..... Its about quality. Any box will survive ( and im pretty sure many survived the same day in cars around Andre's car too. Shade Andre was is passired mit dich die letzte tage

Guys...
When referring to car radios your talking a whole different point of engineering. Quality is relative to survivability, but you show me an owners manual for a boombox that didn't have the little cartoon boombox sweating with "X" marked through it telling you to not leave it exposed to extreme heat or sunlight. Now, some may go longer than others, but the point is that you risk some sort of damage. You won't find a half decent car stereo with glued parts or soft components (pinch roller on cassettes the exception), thus why they can go extreme cold and extreme hot. Something else to cosider is that if our boomers were designed to withstand 160+ degree heat consistenly, we'd never be able to afford them.
And for those who reference the beach or outdoors..airflow is everything...
Bottom line, exercise caution.
