HUD Alignment
Is there some way to align the HUD so the image projected on the windshield is level with the road and not tilted to the side?

Mine is not tilted. Haven't seen horizontal adjustment methods on the forum or in the manual. Vertical, yes.

Warning wise azz response coming:
Use lowering bolts on one side of car only !!
Seriously I remember this question coming up before, I don't believe there is any adjustment to turn the hud display either left or right.

I've got using the up down arrow to move the HUD. My HUD is a bit tilted to the right no matter what height it is. I wonder if there is an accesible screw that would adjust this.

There is no left-right adjustment for the HUD - vertical only.

If its similar in the mounting as the C5 Hud, then by removal of the dash pad, there is an adjustment on the Hud mounting. I just had to replace my Hud on my '99. My '07 seems to be tilted just slightly to the right.

Well, I have been holding off asking, but mine has an ever so slight right slant too. If it could be adjusted, I'd never let them pull it a part to do it.

Agreed, I would adjust it only if it was fairly non-invasive and I could do it myself.

The tilt could be due to the curve of the windshield.

Mine was tilted on my 2007, so I was forced to trade the car for a 2008. The new car it is perfectly level, which proves it was NOT an optical illusion.
