Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a mirror is usually mounted on a mirror housing of a vehicle mirror by press-fitting a mirror holder having a mirror fixed to a pivot provided in the mirror housing. By the way, it is necessary to provide an appropriate holding force so that the mirror does not easily tilt due to the vibration of the vehicle or an external impact, but as described above, sufficient holding force of the mirror holder cannot be obtained only by press-fitting. If the holding force is set high, the press-fitting operation becomes difficult.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 244/244, a method is adopted in which after the mirror holder is press-fitted into the pivot, the pivot receiving seat is screw-adjusted to give an appropriate holding force.
