Default Popping Windshield & Squeaking Sunroof

Anyone have or had a problem with the windshield popping loud while driving the first few hundred feet after the car has been sitting in the cold for a while? Mine does that every time, and I can almost predict when it will happen. I'm going to take it in to get it checked out, but I'm wrestling with giving up my Magnum for a few days.
On another note, I'm also getting some squeeking coming from the sunroof while driving around the city.

Any other Mag owners getting those wonderful noises out there?

Windshield Pop? Maybe it doesn't get cold enough in California for that. What Temperature are you guys in wheb this is occuring? Can't say that I have ever saw Temperature Gauge below 42 Degrees, though...

Purposely didn't get a Sunroof, because I didn't want and Leak or Noise issues down the road, that always seem to accompany the Sunroof.

I've seen a couple of loose sunroofs causing noises.

I get the windshield pop, too. I actually have two pops. One is the windshield pop that is fairly loud and predictable when I pull out of my parking lot after work. The other pop is an occasional, random, slightly quieter pop that almost sounds like it's coming from a speaker in the dashboard. It almost sounds like the clicking noise that my Nextel phone used to make through the speakers just before it rang. I've found that the MagnaFlow catback exhaust system helps to mask the quieter popping sound, but it's definitely still there. Let us know if you get any answers. It's not bothering me enough to make a separate trip, but I may mention it next time I'm at the dealership.

By the way, I have a sunroof, too, but have not noticed any squeaks.

Add another Magnum to the list with a windshield pop - doesn't do it every time though. It's also my impressions that 1) it seems to come from the passenger side more, and 2) it's loud and 3) it doesn't seem like it's just a "glass" sound - I know what does that mean - it seems like plastic is involved???
