Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle door mirror, and more particularly to a structure of a base member for mounting a mirror body on a vehicle body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a door mirror of this type includes a base member fixed to a door side, and a mirror housing which is rotatably attached to the base member and accommodates the mirror in a tiltable manner. . In a manual type door mirror, the mirror body is tilted via a link mechanism by operating an operation lever protruding into the vehicle interior. By operating a switch provided, a drive unit provided in the mirror housing is controlled to tilt the mirror body.
