HUD cleaning
Can someone point me to any info (or past posts) on how to clean the HUD (for my '01)?
I know there's got to be some posts out here somewhere, but silly me I can't find 'em.
Thanks.

Cant say I've ever tried but its just a lens
I'd use a soft cloth and ease the arm into the hole. Take it easy so as not to scratch the lens or dislodge the mounting. If you use fluid it may be hard to get it off again given how small the orifice is

I too just use a nice clean, soft cloth to gently wipe the lens down. I've used some glass cleaner sprayed sparingly on the cloth and it has worked fine too.

Microfiber cleaning cloth. If you decide to use glass cleaner, use caution. Make sure it is safe for tinted windows, etc. Most regular glass cleaners contain ammonia and WILL fog the plastic lens.

When all else fails, read the owners manual. Here's what was listed in my manual:
To clean the HUD, spray household glass cleaner on a
soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry
it. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens because the
cleaner could leak into the unit.
Hope this helps.
