HUD Display Tilted
The HUD works perfectly but but it is tilted approximately 5-10 degrees clockwise. I've had a couple of different people look at it and all have agreed that it is tilted.
Has anyone else seen this?
Did you try and fix it, were you successful and how?

I don't think it actually is. Read this and see what you think:

I read through the entire post. I believe the consensus (80-20) was that the display is tilted and that no one has found it annoying enough to go to the trouble of having it fixed. As one member, the weather is getting bad and maybe it is time to take it in. RAD22 suggested it is caused by the curvature of the wind shield. Moving the HUD up/down effects the tilt. I'll check that out tomorrow.

My dealer is working with GM to see if there is a way that they can adjust the tilt. As yet I have not heard anything from them. Surprised to hear someone has one that is actually not tilted, since every one I have seen is. Some think it's an optical illusion, but in reality there is a slight tilt to the right. Dropping it down towards the hood does take away some of the tilt, but it is still not straight.

It does appear to be slightly tilted to the right, but it is so slight that it is not a issue for me. And, I do not want a technician messing with it as it works perfectly.
