Default Shakey HUD

I’ve got an ‘05 corvette with a shaky heads up display. I believe the cause of it was driving with high PSI in the front tires and on bad roads.

Anybody have a link to a solution or any information on how I can repair it?

thanks, Daniel

It's clear when stopped but vibrates when driving making it blurry?

It doesn’t necessarily look blurry, but it vibrates really bad when driving. Does not vibrate when stopped.

Same problem that I had on my 05. Just keep driving and eventually the HUD's mirror will fail. Then get a new HUD as the problem seems to be that the plastic gets brittle in the sun and the screws are affected by the moisture. You can fix the old HUD easily but I decided if I was going through the effort of replacement I'd get a new one.

I did the install myself, and if you're a DIY type its not that hard in my opinion. There are two ways to do it either cut the duct or remove the dash, which I did.

My 05 had shaky hud in 11 when I bought it. One of first things I fixed and been faultless since. All for the cost of a couple of washers and a bit of time. I cut the duct and have not regretted it.
