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??

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..

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.

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. :lol:

 

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.
