I used clear two sided construction adhesive tape behind the charger and it holds perfectly so far!

I had a similar case mounted in the same spot for about 5 years and it came off like a charm, no damage at all when peeled off slowly and carefully. Although, there is some peeling where my fingers constantly made contact with the rubberized trim.

Next up, swapping my hardwired charging to USB C 20w to allow the 15w wireless charging!

Update - it's very hard to find a 20w type C car charger at this time that will allow the full 15w charging. Belkin is coming out with one but it's not available yet.

Enjoy!
Is the magsafe able to hold the phone in place, hitting bumps and the like?

My car is a bit stiffer on coilovers and from what I've seen on reviews online, I don't think it would be able to hold my phone.
