Addicted2bass Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 The HUD on my new TGP works fine but it projects the speed way far down on the windshield, the only way i can see it is if i sit straight up in the seat and crane my neck. The slider on the side doesnt help. Is there a way to adjust it if i take the unit apart? Quote
J Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 i'd pull the cable out of the adjusteer and see if you can do it manually. The cable has a ball on the end so it can be put back in the adjuster after you try. Hell i'd take it apart and try it, you have nothing to lose but maybe an hour Quote

Mine is actually held in place by a screw. lol Quote
Andrew Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 wait, these HUD's dont have that up/down button like mine has? that sucks!! i guess Pontiac thought everyone was the same height back then? Quote
Darkness Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 When I had my TGP there was the same problem with the HUD. I ended up taking it apart and adding a bit of plastic to the arm that holds the mirror. This moved it up just enough that the slider would then work. Getting it apart is actually easier than you would think. Quote

No, there is a HUD slider attached to a cable that mounts on the underside of the right switchpod on the instrument panel. Quote

digitaloutsider Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 You're both right. The first-generation HUD's (88-90) had them right on the HUD unit itself. The second-generation (91-93) had them on the wiper pod. Quote
