The gasoline in the automobile tanks catching fire and burning beneath the car, and also setting alight the rubber tires. The melting point of automotive glass is about the same as the melting point of the cast aluminum wheels, substantially below the flame temperature of gasoline and rubber.
Only certain kinds of glass melt at higher temperature (e.g., fused quartz), not auto glass. For one thing, the auto glass incorporates a transparent layer of plastic (anti-shatter) that would certainly melt. You should read a little more.
The burning temperatures of gasoline and rubber are in the high 2000s. More than enough to melt anything with a lower melting temperature. The videos also evidence the fact that all the upholstery was burned up, which also releases heat.
Look for wider examples. This same kind of thing was observed in the California "Camp Fire" wildfire and the Tennessee wildfires.
Tires are still enough. The interior was gutted by fire, so even if the seat cushions were removed, there would still be the interior coverings. Have you read about the California and Tennessee cases?

Everything I've read has the wheels burning at 1200-1500 and glass at 2500.
Those two cars were abandoned and sitting there for a long time according to a few different videos I've seen made by loxals

The cars were abandoned, no gas. No upholstery. You should read more.
