Best Pepper Spray Storage Method for Hot Car?

I already know this obvious answer is “Don’t”, but I wanna see if I can find more creative solutions for storing a Sabre Gel Pepper Spray in my hot car, while still maintaining relatively easily access. It gets up to 80-90 degrees in the area I’m in so luckily not absurd temperatures, but still hot enough to risk damaging a pressurized can.

While catestrophic explosive failure is a possibility, the more likely scenario is a leak or spray, and my current solution is a simple ziplock bag in the overhead visor away from the direct sun. I’ve seen alot of conflicting posts about some people storing one for years in the sidedoor and having no problems, and others failing and making their car uninhabitable. One thing I’ve considered is that my glovebox or covered center console is sometimes significantly cooler than the rest of the car and could be a potential storage area. Other suggestions I’ve seen online is an insulated container such as a thermal lunch box, however this detracts from the accessibility. Ideally I would want a non-pressurized version such as the Kimber Pepper Blaster, but unfortunately that can’t be shipped to my state. I’ve tried to search for other non pressurized options such as manual squirt bottle, but those don’t quite exist (probably because they’re impractical.)

[TLDR] Theres always going to be some degree of risk when choosing to store it in the car. However, aside from simply taking it out, are there any creative solutions or cautionary measures you can suggest to decrease the risk or do damage control for a can of car gel pepper spray?
