    Unhappy 2008 Dash Bubble.

    Most of you are familiar with the dash bubble. I had it on my 2005 Magnum. The whole top of the dash needs to be ripped out and replaced.

    Well it appears that my 2008 Magnum has a dash bubble. There's a lump in the top part of the dash above the airbag on the passenger's side. The 2008 dash is different than previous model years but it seems to suffer from the same problem.

    I hope Chrysler survives long enough for me to get it fixed.

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    Sorry to hear this. I don't have a bonafide bubble, but do have a slight irregularity in my 2007 MSRT8 dash. It is noticeable only at the right (or wrong) angle, and I haven't worried about it.

    If it is a trapped air bubble, then you might be able to use a pin to poke a little hole and get it to lay down again?

    I'm not sure if the dash bubble is really a pocket of air or something else but that's what everyone's called them for years. If I press on it, it feels solid though.

    I always use a sunshade so my dash only sees the sun while I'm driving. My car is also garaged.
