Help... my HUD mirror/lens fell off?!
97 SSE
So I hit a bump while driving and my HUD goes out. Not completely out... I could still see a faint glow of green.
I look into the HUD from outside my car, and it appears that a mirror or lens something has fallen out of place! I can still kinda see the HUD through that though, and it looks fine.
Now I need to access the HUD and try and put the lens back, but I have no idea how!! People say to pop off the defroster panel, I tried and just can't get it to come off. I'm scared to death doing this cause I don't wanna damage anything worse!!
Can someone give me detailed instructions on how to do it? Preferably with pictures?? I am a complete newb at this and have never done anything like it before....

Once you get the panel off.. then the hud is in with IIRC 4 7mm screws...also can use a phillips head screwdriver.
If the unit is bad..holler...I've got a "spare" laying around.

Is there anything else I have to remove first?
I tried a putty knife, and it still wouldn't come up, it felt as if I tried any harder I would crack the panel....
I tried it from the passenger side too, no luck? Remember I have absolutely no experience in taking my car apart :(
