Possibly something relating to the Clear Corner mod?

Default It would be my guess, though I'm no expert...

Is the housing sealed together tightly?

And is it as bloody hot wherever you live as it is here in the Boston area? If so, maybe the heat is having an affect on the glue you used during the CC mod. That could explain the "melting".
