Default HUD repair?

I know that you can get air bag computers reset, you can find people to spin the numbers on speedometers, but does any one know if somebody repairs HUDs?

Obviously, someone makes these, so they should be able to fix them.

I was cleaning my 07 dash and must have gotten a very small amount of cleaner in the HUD as it quit!! It couldn't have been more than a few drops if that much. YIKES.

You might think that, but no warranty.

You might be better off replacing it. I found mine on ebay, but only because the dealer would not sell me one since it didn't come equipped with one. If yours came equipped you can go right to the dealer and order one and have them pop it in. I know it sucks as an out of warranty repair.

You already have to get into the dash to remove it for repairing, and I would think that would be the bulk of the cost of the repair is the labor of removing the dash. So at that point I think it would be better to just replace the HUD IMO.

The HUD's can be sent out by any dealer to an authorized repair center. (even if you just bring the HUD unit itself in).
