So is it actually trying make the vertical movement, or is only sliding out horizontal and going straight back in again? What brand and model is the unit?

Pretty much with any single DIN fold out screen, the unit must at least make it 90 degrees. If there is any interference it will just fold back inside. Making it not even possible to change the angle. Even if you were to set the angle as far forward as possible, the unit still wants to open up 90 degrees before it goes back to the memory angle position. The only way around this problem is to have your head unit mounted further out of the factory din spot. In most cases it looks horrible and just wrong, but I have seen guys in the past make their own facias/surrounds so it looks more fitted and less obvious.
