Volvo 850s are notorious for the dash bolts/brackets failing.

I removed the dash completely and saw the problem. The actual brackets where the bolts attach to were broken.

I formed new brackets, glued and screwed them into position and tightened the bolts and it worked great. Once you remove the dash completely, you will see the problem. it was totally stupid how Volvo designed this in the first place. But, it can be repaired.

completely removing the dash and fixing the problem will take a good weekend. But it's worth it if you like the car.
