New guy here from Florida with a C5
Hey, guys
Glad to be here! Always have found that forums are the best spot for any info car related, and this one has been fantastic so far!
Picked up a new to me 2003 torch red coupe last week, and just as I always suspected, am totally in love!
Only issues so far is the typical "mirror off the peg" in the HUD... is there any way to fix this without removing the entire dashboard? Seems like a nightmare trying to remove a 17 year old hunk of plastic and vinyl out of the car, and theres like a 90% chance ill break something doing it, lol.

Welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on your C5!
I have a C5 but without HUD so have not had to work on this. You would probably do better posting this question in the C5 General section. Lot of great members there with helpful information that should be able to give you the best possible solution. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...s-1997-2004-2/
Best wishes with an easy fix!

Moving this to C5 Tech.
However, take a look at this file and see how another member fixed the fallen HUD problem. And yes, taking the dash apart is required.

Agreed. I myself wouldn't address this unless there was another, additional reason to do so. Like your A/C vent doors needed replacement, too. Then you have 2 birds with 1 stone, so to speak.......
