A holding device of a mirror element for rearview mirror includes an actuator unit for tiltably inclining a mirror, and a mirror element mounted through a pivot plate on the actuator unit. The mirror element has a mirror plate and a mirror holder, and an aperture of the size capable of engaging at least the central portion of the pivot plate at the center of the mirror holder. Hook type latch means is provided at the mirror holder and the upper portion of the pivot plate, and pawl engaging means utilizing undercuts are formed at the lower portion. The pivot plate is mounted by the supporting means of the actuator unit to form a subassembly. After the subassembly is fixed to the mirror body, the hook of the mirror element is engaged with the pivot plate, and the pawl is engaged while rotating the mirror element downward at the latch as a center to associate the mirror assembly.

An electrically foldable door mirror comprising a base, a shaft erected on said base, a mirror body rotatably attached to said shaft, electric driving means for turning said mirror body, a pinion secured to the output shaft of said electric driving means, said pinion being engaged with a clutch gear attached to the upper portion of said shaft, means for automatically stopping said electric driving means, said stopping means being disposed between one surface of a fixed clutch fixed to the upper end of said shaft and a surface of said mirror body opposing said one surface of the fixed clutch, said stopping means comprising a printed circuit and contact pieces slidable thereon. The mirror body in the erected neutral position can be turned backward by actuating the electric driving means. When the mirror body has come to the position of the rear turning limit, the electric driving means is automatically stopped by the stopping means. The mirror body in the position of the rear turning limit can be returned to the erected neutral position by reversing the electric driving means. When the mirror body has come to the erected neutral position, the electric driving means is automatically stopped by the stopping means.
