Best filament for car parts that sit in the sun?

So I want to print some dashbard stuff but my car sits outside all day. Will PLA hold up or should I use something else? I've heard PETG is better for heat but wanted to check here first.

Try printing at 245C with 70mm/s. That's my sweet spot for PETG.

I always do a temp tower first. Makes a huge difference in layer adhesion.

Make sure you're doing 4 walls minimum. Infill honestly doesnt matter as much as wall thickness.
