Abstract
In a door mirror device for a vehicle, an retracting device supports a mirror by coupling a mirror angle adjusting device for holding the mirror with a holding portion of a frame and coupling the retracting device fixed to a vehicle body with a supporting portion of the frame. The frame is provided with the holding portion and the supporting portion formed by drawing a frame-forming metal plate which has been formed by pressing, and a portion connecting the holding portion and the supporting portion is provided with a difference in level. Thus, the frame can have sufficient rigidity.
