Abstract
A mounting bracket for an automotive vehicle rear view mirror. The bracket includes a mirror-supporting arm which normally extends outwardly from the side of the automotive vehicle. A spring-loaded detent maintains the mirror-support arm in its normal position. Manually applying a pivoting force above a certain magnitude to the arm overcomes the biasing force of the detent and permits rotation of the mirror-support arm and its mirror inwardly towards the automotive vehicle to reduce the overall vehicle width.
