HUD - Adjustability
:?: Own a 92 SSEi. HUD does not adjust - to raise or lower the image on the windshield. When I first purhased it (used), I was able to move it slightly upwards - but can no longer get it to move. Has anyone ever had this problem? I can see the display if I was just looking over the dash, but I am 6' 5" - no display.
Suggestions?
Suggestions?

This is the first time I've heard of this.....but I've wondered about it. I think there'* a cable in there that moves the projector assembly. You're gonna have to dig for it. This is what you call 'taking one for the team'. When you figure it out, let us know. You'll be the only 'blind' one that way.
Welcome to the Forum! I think you just found the only thing we haven't experienced! The HUD'* are ultra-reliable.

consumer reports basically say "some people love HUD and some don't" this is the tightest little feature i have ever had on a car. my buddies have a minor freak when they see it. 
my bad....here i am freaking about how cool it is and i have no clue as to how to help mr. "penta-five". sorry...

Newer ones also have the radio station too.

because it can be 3 mph off in either direction. it'* not a precision digital instrument by any means. the HUD and speedo interpret the VSS signal on their own and they just do it a little differently.
