    Do I need a special drill bit to install screws in dashboard? It's a Peterbilt with that fake woodgrain looking plastic. I don't won't the whole thing to shatter.

    ? Predrill a smaller diameter hole if you're worried about it. Or just use adhesive

    I would rather use adhedive but this one doesn’t have that option and I can't find the kind they use on the backs of other mounts. Thanks

    Is it a flat piece? You could always just buy Velcro, good quality holds surprisingly well.

    It was pricey but well worth it in my opinion. Proclips.com has phone clips for about any phone that you don't have to drill. This one is designed for the iPhone with Otter Box. image.png

    Most drivers I see nowadays don't set their phones down. So, I commend you for asking your question.
