HUD not level

I've done the search thing and came up with 0.
My 04 Z06 has a slightly crooked HUD, just enough to make me crazy

Has anyone experienced a problem with the HUD being a little crooked...right lower corner is lower than the left (when facing it)
And is it adjustable?

Maybe your seat is crooked.

By design the HUD tilt is not adjustable. How far are lower is the right than the left? You could probably remove the dash and shim up the right side of the HUD just a little. I'm thinking you should be able to get may a 1/4". You could check it and tweak it while the dash is out to get it perfect. Fairly simple project, 2-3 hours guessing.

I'm still under warranty...maybe let the dealer look at it.
As for how crooked....right side is about 1/8 to 1/4 in. lower than left,
just enough to notice.
Thx guys!

You could fix it by shimming the projector with either a super thin washer, or several sheets of paper under the back mounting point. It shouldn't take much at alll...

I've never seen one crooked...but this should do it...
