Would Dragon reenter safely if the nose cone stayed open?

If the nose cone does not close before reentry, would the Dragon capsule be safe after reentry?

The nose cone protects important components like the forward hatch and guidance systems. How damaged would they be after reentry?
Would the crew and cargo experience any problems from the nose cone not closing?
