Description of the problem	I drove up to my gym, got out of my car, locked it as usual so nothing out of the ordinary. Went back out to my car about 30 min later and saw smoke billowing from windows... Opened my door passenger side and my glove compartment was the source so i open it and all i saw were flames leaping from the top of the compartment and flames coming outta the air vents. Within minutes the entire glove box compartment as well as the dash itself melted onto the floorboard. Some gentleman found a fire extinguisher and put it out before the fire department even arrived. Im just lucky i wasn't in it but this had to be some manufacture defect in the wiring because i believe that it started above the glove box right were the wire harnesses enter the car through the fire break between the car and engine compartment.
