hi.. i have a z1 with z3 image( doesnt matter haha) but i've noticed that the screen doesnt tilt all the way down when i press the tilt button to get to cds... it seems like the right side of the screen comes off the track... if i push down the right top part of the screen when it comes down it stays on the track... does anyone have any ideas or tips to fix this??
z1 tilt
Make sure that the unit is not coming in contact with the plastic surround. Mine was getting hung up on that and would no open, I ended up getting a new install kit and it is much better...
nope its not.. like i said the screen is coming down but the right side is coming off the track... if i push on the top right corner of the screen while its going down it'll stay on the track..
ill take pics of how it looks
Is the face missing the mounting screw that holds it to the frame on the right side?
Something came off or is loose obviously, since you say the screen comes of its track.
Look for a mounting screw or etc thats missing.
it looks like everything is there.. i'll take pics for u guys to see... i'll post them up tomorrow
so here are the pics
here it is sitting perfectly

how it sits if i dont push the top right in.. ull see how the screen on the right comes off the track...



left side is on the track

here are pics of it when i push on the top right.. and u'll see that the screen is on the track..


i did notice that the right side has a spring and the left side doesnt.. dont know if that matters..


and i have a little vid of it too
Did you buy that from someone selling it out of the trunk of a Cadillac? I was just noticing the toolmarks on the bottom of the face and looks like rust on the hinges. ![]()
It could be someone was a bit rough with it at some point, is the peg on the right side bent or loose? It's kind of hard to tell, but it sort of looks bent in the pic where you show it coming off the track. Are there any cracks on the sides of the inner face or damage to the track? Also, that metal bracket on the bottom should be coming out equally the same on both sides. Could it be skewing?
The spring only on one side is normal, mine only has one spring too.
nope no rust... but the right side does come out more if it comes off the track..
See if you can find the post by "dawgbone" where he posted a link to the service manual. On page 229, you can see the slide-out mechanism. If it's coming out unevenly, there probably something loose or broken in the mechanism. It's supposed to come straight out and evenly.
someone had a site i went to but the pdf wasnt there... might have been deleted.. found it/ downloaded it.. reading haha
