Heads Up Display - Is it Adjustable?
2001 C5 Coupe
My heads up display seems to have dropped a bit.
When driving sitting in my normal posture, the display is lower than it used to be. When looking at it, I only see the top half without sitting up very straight.
Is this adjustable??
Thanks in advance for any help.

Right below the dimmer control on the dash are the up and
down arrow keys for changing the HUD projection location on
the windshield.
But seriously - it's in the owner's manual.

the projector is on? In other words, you know for sure that the
projector is working?

I just installed a HUD system in my 2000 hardtop this past weekend. Thank you minytrker...
Once installed, I discovered that when adjusted fully up, I could see only about 3/4's of the display. However by raising the rear leg (point closest to the steering wheel) I could see the display perfectly. It only required raising the leg about a 1/4 inch, and the rear leg is in a slot so raising it this much was no problem. The difficulty is, if this is your only alternative to pulling the display up, you're gonna have to pull the dashboard... good luck...

Yeah, pulling the dash was what I'd hoped to avoid. Any body got a set of directions or tips. Since I posted the HUD the oil sending unit died and the passenger window won't come up. I like working on all my cars but this is adding up a little fast.

Most likely however, I would suspect a connector being poorly seated as the problem. Requires IP removal only. I would check to make certain the connectors are fully seated on both ends of the 11 wire connector cable.
Good news: If the switch is bad you only need to remove the IP.
Bad news: If the HUD projector drive motor is bad, you'll be pulling the dash pad again and replacing ($$$) it.

Ref the passenger window... Have you tried holding the window up button while slamming the passenger door hard? That has been an easy fix for a lot of us and would knock out 1 of your 3 problems.

Thanks for the tips guys. The door slamming thing didn't help but there were encouraging words in the connector suggestion.
This is first Vette and the part that worried me before I bought it was the headlight drive......Silly me.
