Accessory holder in cabin

A method for manufacturing an anti-glare rearview mirror is disclosed. An anti-glare rearview mirror has a rectangular bracket and a control lever meshed with the bracket in order to change an angle of a mirror. In manufacturing this rear view mirror, the bracket and the control lever are molded in such a manner that a runner integrally connects the bracket and the control lever without interfering movement of the bracket or the control lever of the assembled anti-glare rearview mirror. And a worker separates the bracket and the control lever at the runner with his hands. Next the worker assembles the bracket and the control lever to a mirror housing without removing a remaining part of the runner.
