Abstract
A mirror assembly for use in an automobile having a water drops removing apparatus. A mirror glass is held by a back holder which includes a flange engaging a front surface of an edge of the mirror glass. The flange has a plurality of projections extending from the flange to contact the glass surface. The projections maintain a predetermined gap between the inner surface of the flange and the glass surface so that the pumping action and cavitation of the water drops in the gap are prevented.
