For me its about 8 degrees. Super cold for me since I'm from Texas and I was driving out of state. My thermostat being stuck open did not help the heater at all.

I have had my car in for 4 years in Texas heat and then 3 years in cold Boston. In Texas I drove in 105 degree weather and in Boston the coldest was about -6 deg F.
What I think were the casualities of these temperature extremes on a 11 year old car are: sagging headliner (repaired years ago), cracks in wood veneer, and possibly my 2nd set of valve cover gaskets failing prematurely (maybe?). My thermostat housing failed the same day I drove in -6 degree weather.

I'm just thinking the rubber gaskets on my car may have gotten more brittle going from years of 100+ degrees and extreme humidity and direct sun to years of cold while my car is getting older at 11 yrs old. My car is parked outside all the time.
I do know the heat def made my headliner sag and the wood trim crack however.

I can say the headliner sag was caused by heat with reasonable certainty b/c I had a very small bubble for months in the spring/winter, but within 2 days of record highs (20 degrees hotter), that bubble became the entire back seat section of the headliner. The heat def. made it worse BC the car was even parked the whole time in the sun. There was no rain, for it was a drought, hence the record highs.
