Thread: Hud..there...kinda

Hi all...I have tried searching...and have had no luck.

When I bought my 2000 GTP..I assumed the HUD did not work, and I was ok with that. The other night driving home, I noticed two green lines on my windshield. I know that my HUD controls work, I can hear the motor working when I attempt to move it. I noticed that when I move the hud..the green lines kinda go side to side..not up and down...I know I've heard of the "Spring fix" on 04s...not sure if this would be a similar issue? Any input would be appreciated

sounds like the spring thing.
Put your head down towards your knees and look up at the windhield, you should be able to catch a glimpse of the display.
here is the how-to...HUD - Heads Up Display for Pontiac Grand Prix 2004 Repair Instructions

Thank you for the quick reply gonna look into that tomorrow

Ok...not to question your judgment here..but would it be a dimming problem if it looks like something is over top of the display(kind of like the mirror fell or something)?

Ok so I took the trim off and popped the hud out...here are some pics....i wouldn't know what is out of place..
here are some pics:

One step ahead of ya on that one bill..the motor moves...but the mirror does not. I have a video that I just uploaded...kinda hard to see but if you look at the bottom of the video.you'll see what I mean..the mirror is stationary but the motor moves. Also the display is working I have a pic of that too lol

pic of display:

you want me to try another vid while I look it over? lol

ok vid 2: lol


Not really sure whats up....I tried putting the end of the mirror in the hole next to the center of the motor..rather than the grove..did not work...

I was just thinking the same thing Bill, it looks as though there is a piece that should go into a little spot to the right of the motor, when I look at the mirror, there is a piece in addition to the one that goes into the grove, it looks broken..I did not take a picture although I should have. It seems logical to me that if that was still connected, it would move. I would think that it would be best to pick up a "new" hud unit? I could glue the pieces back together, but there is no guarantee that it would hold.
