In a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle a roof rail has a raised portion formed with an attachment surface substantially flush with the inside surface of a ceiling member exposed to the passenger compartment. A mirror mounting bracket is attached to the raised portion of the roof rail at the attachment surface of the latter. A circumferential space formed between the roof rail and the bracket is not visible because of the ceiling member sandwiched between the roof rail and the bracket.
