    Last Summer I purchased my second 2005 Dodge Magnum RT. I have no idea how it happened, but when I picked it up, both splines on the radio knobs were stripped. NBD I thought. I'll go to my local friendly Mopar dealer and buy a couple of new ones for $10 apiece (they are probably worth $3). It turns out that you get two knobs for free with every new radio which is about $1,000. I looked online, and Dorman makes a replacement knob which doesn't look anything like the originals. I doubt that a salvage yard would break up a radio for them. Any ideas where I could scarf a couple?

    Unless the Dorman knobs looked like crap, I'd just go with those. Don't tell me you're concerned about being "correct"? :grin:

    Not concerned about absolutely correct, but don't want ugly. The Dorman's are ugly.
