HUD question
Any advice on what to do or not do to keep the HUD in my new(to me) 2016 Z51 working at it’s best. I have it on all the time and really like it! I especially worry about how best to keep it clean.

I wouldn't call this an issue, but I find it interesting that from time to time I need to adjust the HUD position. It moves slightly on it's own. It still has really good range up and down. Weird.

Had an 06 C6, never had a problem and actually never had to clean it. Great option.
No problem for 4500 miles on my C7 though I did have to readjust a couple times while trying to find a good seat position.

Best thing to do is not touch it unless there is obvious degradation due to dust. Had my C5Z for 14 years and never touched it, there are threads on here where folks have tried to clean and broken the bracket.
Polarized glasses are just fine, just get a better brand.

My polarized prescription sunglasses dimmed the HUD considerably. As for getting a better brand you can test the sunglasses to see if they are truly polarized. Take two polarized lens and put one in front of the other so you can see through them, then turn one of them 90 degrees. If they are both polarized once the lens is turned 90 degrees the combo will block all the light that had been coming through them. If your lens can't do that then it isn't polarized no matter how good it is.
