Heads up display too low
After my new engine was installed I noticed that my heads up display is hitting the glass almost too low to see. I have the controls up as high as they go but it's not where it used to be.
Is there a way to re-aim the heads up display manually like the headlights??.....hope it's easy!

Is there a MANUAL way (not the buttons) to correct this problem???

Since I just installed a HUD in my car, I can tell you that the projector is installed rigidly, not much room for adjustment. The only possible movement would be the rear mounting leg on the projector not sitting fully in the mounting slot, which would let it tilt slightly forward.

Had this EXACT problem on my friends vert last week. So we tore out the projector and tore into it. One of the pivots on the mirror inside the projector had worn out. You can either- 1. replace the projector (get a used one off the forum for sale= or fleabay OR 2. repair it yourself as we did. Not that hard once you tear into it.
But.......... we suck for not taking pics of the job.
Sorry brother, but hope this helps

Also, do you think this could have been busted during an engine swap or or did a shifty shop employee swap the HUD for a jacked up one??

Same problem here. Just need to find the time to tear into the console/bezel/dash/glove box...then fix it. I think my lowered car took enough of a pounding (not much travel left in suspension) to force the HUD down...maybe even break off on of the ends . Mounting bosses?
