Default HUD not centered horizontally

When seated in the driver seat properly, the HUD on the windshield appears too far to the left. All adjustments work correctly,but it appears the projection unit itself is not properly positioned. Anyone had this issue?

The projector really has no room to move in it mounting position inside the dash. I'm thinking the mirror in the projector, somehow, has become loose and moved....If thats the case, the projector will have to come out and be fixed/replaced. Good luck...

I agree. Measure your buttcheeks and see if the left one is bigger than the right. If yes....have the left one shaved down or removed. Much cheaper than having GM work on your hud.
