HUD tilted?
HI all -
Bought a new Z06...700 miles now just noticed yesterday that the display on the windshield is slighty titled to the right. What I mean is , the image is higher on the left than the right.
I think this just happened as this is exactly the kind of thing I would have noticed earlier...
( like a crooked picture on a wall )
is anybody elses like that...
how would they correct this ?
Thanks
Kevin

Re: HUD tilted? (ksems)
Mine is not as geometrically even nor as sharp as the one in my 2000 Coupe with the "regular" HUD glass.
When you are looking at the HUD straight on and move your head slightly to the left or right, does it get bigger on one side, then the other??
I suspect this distortion is due to the light windshield not being optimal for the HUD display. You'll get used to it, and now it doesn't even bother me after 4 months. I would find another Z06 to compare it to, but I suspect your's is normal.

Hi Kevin. My 02 coupe had a tilted HUD just a you described. I thought about taking it to the dealer :eek: and then I came to my senses :lol: I came up with a good cure though, dim it until it disappears :lol:
Seriously, it is a nuisance but so would a squeaky dash once they repaired it.
