Let someone else deal with those headaches.

The car was new and we started hearing a noise like a rock was hitting the windshield. We complained to the dealer since we didn't know what it was and figured it would be under warranty. After many years of hearing the noise, we don't hear it now. I think the windshield or dash was placed incorrectly. The dash has always had a buckle in it and now, since the noise quit, the vents on the dash have broken out and the dash is sticking up so we can never have the vents in place. They are just sitting there, not attached. I told the dealer about the dash buckling and they told me it was from the heat, I needed to get a sun shield. It's only one spot about 8 inches long that buckles over on the driver side.
I like my Magnum but I will never buy another Dodge. I've had other problems that I posted on here. My 1985 Nissan was in a flood and it never gave me problems like this car has and I drove the Nissan for 15 years and it had over 200,000 miles on it.
