  Can you not try something like...

                         fixedHeader: {
                             header: true,
                             headerOffset: $('#top-nav').height(),
                         },

  Thanks brett.
  This part would be ok just for the initial setup of the headerOffset.

  Unfortunately it does not helps for changing it dynamically

      $('#example').DataTable({
          fixedHeader: {
              header: true,
              headerOffset: $('#fixed').height()
          }
      });
  
      // some event which should result in new position of tableHeader 
      // due to change in height of page header
      .... (function (e) {
          var table = $('#example').DataTable();
          // DO SOMETHING HERE TO UPDATE fixedHeader.headerOffset
          table.fixedHeader.headerOffset($('#fixed').height());   // apply new value 
          // above fails, as there so no such method to update headerOffset (yet)
  
          table.fixedHeader.adjust();
      });
  

  The example showing what I need to achieve
  https://jsfiddle.net/u4wbzvdb/6/

  Please note that the problem is not how to overlay fixed header over the page header. I would like to adjust it to the edge of the header, no matter what the new height of the page header is.

  There currently is no API to be able to dynamically change the offset. That is something that would need to be added to the code (pull requests welcome :-) ).

  Pull request created.

  Test case: based on https://jsfiddle.net/u4wbzvdb/6/ (just need to use the updated version of FixedHeader)

  PS Many thanks for the excellent work on DataTables
