Over a year ago the Heads Up Display (HUD) on my 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP broke. Well the HUD didn't break, the spring holding the mirror came loose. The spring had actually pulled through the plastic.
When this happened last year i looked online and saw that it was a common problem, several people had written about it happening. The reason i didn't fix it then, was because in order to fix the spring i had to remove my whole dashboard. So i just printed off step-by-step instruction on how to do it.
Last month in October i went over to Katie and John's for the weekend and John helped me fix it.
I was a little worried at first to remove almost my whole dashboard but most of it wasn't that bad. Everything either popped off or was attached by just a few screws. Also having instructions helped out a lot, there's no way i could have done it without them.
This is the actual HUD taken apart.
It's a little hard to see but we used epoxy to attach a metal washer. That's where the spring would be attached.
Once the epoxy hardened we were half way done, we just had to put it all back together again.
Now it works just fine.
