Do a search on dropped HUD display. It involves removing the dash pad to get the HUD ***'y out and then you have to either replace it or manufacture a fix for the broken pivot pin for the mirror. There is a fix with pictures, search C5 tech.

If you don't want to do it, I am sure there a Vette shop in your area that can handle it.

maybe a 2 hr job and it is easy to do. Now if the housing is broke and you don't want to make a fix, you can only exchange them for a rebuild. No new units available. I have HUD in both my C-5's, well worth the effort to get functional.

I agree that its a fairly easy job and yes, 2-2.5 hours on the dash pad and accessing the hud and putting it all together again.
