As the earlier post mentions, there are ways to fix the attachemnt problem without putting in a new dash. A number of independent shops have developed techniques to fix it. Southwest Auto near me in Dallas does a repair that is better than the original for about $760. Their number is (972) 488-2525.

Boy, sounds like you must have have a lot of other problems. I've owned a 940, 850, V70 and an S70. All have had their problems, and the V70 had the dash problem you have. Volvo reliability is only average, better than VW, BMW, Mercedes, Saab, but worse than the Japanese ones. But they are still the safest cars in the world, and very few cars drive as well or "feel" as good by any stretch. And, for the annoying problems, they have never left me stranded. I will always own a Volvo as one of my cars. BTW, my other car is a Honda Odyssey. It is good to have one highly reliable car.
