Default HUD Question

Does the HUD look a little lower on the right side than the left as it hovers over the hood???
Mine appears to be a little lower on the right side than on the left...just a little but I must be obsessive/compulsive...my '99 Bonne is straight and level.
Also, it appears to be a little out of focus...I checked and I do have the HUD written on the windshield so I know it's not that...maybe I need to clean the windshield a bit better??? Your thoughts, comments???

Maybe one of your eyes is higher than the other?

No, seriously, mine is straight and level.

This has been covered before. B/c of the curvature of the windshield, the HUD image does appear to "tilt" slightly to one side or the other unless you are viewing it perfectly head on. If you rock back and forth (left-to-right) you will notice the left or right side and bottom edge of the HUD image distort, making it appear crooked. This is analogous to the pin-cushion distortion one experiences with super wide-angle lenses in photography. So don't worry, it's normal. :seeya
