    Does anybody else have a dash like this? I've tried tons of different adhesive's and they won't adhere to this weird matte black finish. I'm just wondering if anybody else ran into a similar issue in these volvo's and what adhesive I might be able to try

    Bolts work better than glue. I have mine bolted into the plastic with back plates using ram mount balls.

    You tried using one of those metal plates that adhere to the dash? Then you can suction your mount onto it... Desert West makes a pretty reliable model (works in a Mack). Probably $25 on Amazon; comes with the plate.

    I have a metal one from Mob Armor. It is 3 years old. It’s mostly metal. The magnet mounts with adhesive and hasn’t come off yet. Only recently did I have an issue. The plastic holding the ball joint broke. But a zip tie fixed it.

    Not sure it makes a difference, my dash is aluminum so maybe the adhesive sticks better?? I don’t think I had this one in my company Cascadia.
