Abstract
In a stowing mechanism of a vehicular door mirror device, sound is produced when a gear plate is rotated from a state in which a clutch plate has been disengaged from the gear plate and the clutch plate engages with the gear plate under biasing force from a coil spring. Butyl tape spans between a portion of the coil spring on an upper side of a gap and a portion of the coil spring on a lower side of the gap such that vibration of the coil spring is suppressed. Accordingly, the sound is able to be damped.
