Mine came from the factory with the wrong shield. My view was identical to what you now see. Tell them to exchange it.

What did they do with the other HUD that they replaced? I don't get dealerships. Is it harder to check glass? Or replace the HUD unit?

http://plastics.dupont.com/myplastic...3&locale=ch_CH At the center of the HUD technology is a precisely engineered “interlayer” of DuPont™ Butacite® PVB that acts as the screen onto which the HUD information is projected. This interlayer is called the DuPont™ Wedge™ because of its angular cross-section. Laminated between two layers of glass, the Wedge™ is transparent to allow distortion-free forward vision, but also is able to reflect the HUD projection for viewing by the driver. The virtual image appears to float in the driver’s line of sight near the front of the car, minimizing refocus time. Virtual image location and brightness can be adjusted to the driver’s preference. Together, these features help to reduce driver distraction, enhancing safety. The Wedge™ angle is critical, and was developed through close cooperation with the GM engineering team, windshield supplier Asahi Glass Co. and Nippon Seiki, which supplies the HUD projector and served as package integrator.

I've never bought a GM Certified Used vehicle before, so I might be way off base here, but shouldn't all the parts have to be correct for the application?

Pick uo the car from the dealer last night, and I was told the refuse to repalce the windshield under warranty. I was told I would have to pay for the mistake they did not catch before they sold me the car. The price is $850. I told them I will not pay for thier mistake. Time to contact customer service.
Thanks

Local price for replacement via safelite is approx $540. Seems to me that they shouldn't say 'no' flat out. I'm sure safelite gives a dealer discount so at a minimum they should work it out to pay at their cost.

Edit: Doing a bit more research and I see the crystalline comes in different shades. Any idea what % they put in yours? |

$850 is quite high. You should be able to buy the HUD version for around $100, and maybe get it installed for $150... So, I would say $250 max.

There's no way you can get it that cheap.

placement should be in the area you see the HUD obviously; with a bit extra (1/2" or so) on each side. the size in my Avalanche would be irrelevant as it was an on-top of dash unit, not recessed like the OEM -- as far as tint shade, mine was zero tint 100% light pass-thru, clear as it was in my line of sight I didn't want any color. You can see the outline if you are focused on it, otherwise you won't even notice it. It's purpose is for solar (heat) reduction and color is not required for that with the crystalline products. But because of it's nature it focuses the HUD LED display quite well, which is why GM uses it layered between the glass. I have the same stuff on the Drivers and Passenger side windows of my Camaro. It is completely clear and there for heat reduction only, it works great, the interior temp of my vehicles is 15°-20° lower after sitting 8+ hours in the sun than it was before (yes we tested after installing it by having a therometer in the vehicle during the peak of summer and during peak sun times). I also have the same stuff on all my house windows.. It reduced the heat in my home by 8° which in 95° dry heat is a big deal, means the A/C runs a whole lot less.
