Default Slanted Heads-Up display

I noticed on the way home from the museum that the head up display was not level. It is slightly lower to the right
I wonder how big a deal it would be to get this corrected or is it as they say too much sugar for a cent

It's an illusion due to the hood line. If you look at against something level on a wall in the garage you will see it is not tilted and it's just the landscape of the hood messing with your eyes.

We went over this in 2013 and 2014 more than a couple times when we started getting our new C7's.

This tread is too timely!! I just picked up my 2016 yesterday and while sitting in the car today configuring a bunch of settings I thought my HUD was installed without being leveled.

It means more effort than it's worth. I cheated and googled it, I was curious too.
