Default 2000 HUD to Low

I just bought a 2000 with the HUD. However, To see the display with it all the way up my head has to touch the roof. Does anyone know if this can be adjusted and how?

The "display" right under the on-brightness lever. That moves the display up and down. If I remember correctly, down is up and up is down. I could be wrong, I set mine when I got her and never touched it since.

I found the buttons that move it up and down, but as high as it will go is still way to low.

I was going to say the same thing, but I hesitated. I am 6'2'' and have absolutely no trouble seeing the HUD. Also, how high is your seat? Try lowering your seat in combination with using the "display" button. This should help.

Just a thought, if it's your steering wheel that's interfering with the hud, might try lowering the wheel.

Maybe the mirror adjustment inside the projector is defective. If so, you'll need a new projector....

That's the way to do it. The HUD display has a good range of adjustment available.

perhaps one of the mounting screws is loose causing it to droop and cast the image lower than usual? Just a thought.
