Remove and replace with a new or good second hand item. Straightened units create stress fractures and are known to fail in service causing serious accidents.

SOURCE: HOW DO I DISCONNECT THE DRIVERS AIR BAG FOR A 2006

You cannot disconnect or remove the airbag ,the vehicle will not pass its annual vehicle mechanical inspection you will have to modify the hand controls ,then get a technical engineer to make some drawings which must be presented to the official college for approval ,then they can be made by an authorised workshop ,then fitted by the appropiate garage with a certificate of conformity ,then vehicle presented for a special inspection by the vehicle inspection authority ,

Windshield wiper arms

The wiper blades might be the wrong size (too long). Or the arms might have to be removed and repositioned so they line up in the right spot at each end of their travel. If the wipers look like they're flopping about or going at different speeds right from left, then the linkage is broken and you'll need to buy a good used linkage from a wrecker.

Back Wiper wouldn't stay close to window

Sounds like you have a bent wiper arm. Maybe somebody in a parking lot pulled on it. You can try rebending it towards the window by removing the arm and slightly bending it. A little bend should do. I don't know why Dodge didn't make these spring loaded like the fronts.
Good luck and keep us posted.
