I'm thinking freezing car rides to work is the culprit. Rapid changes in temperature and/or humidity cause more damage than being in a constant low humidity environment. I attempt to keep my music room humidified but this time of year I'm lucky to stay above 30% RH. One thing I do ensure is no rapid environmental changes. I don't have any vehicles with a trunk/boot. Instruments ride where the people do. When the case comes out of the car into the home or playing venue the case stays closed until it equalizes with ambient conditions. So far none of my 20+ stringed instruments ranging from 1 to 130 years old are showing any humidity/temperature related damage.
