Abstract
A mirror assembly for a motor vehicle, in which a mirror backplate is angularly adjustable by an electric motor and drive mechanism. The mirror backplate is pivotably connected to a motor drive casing with a secure yet releasable interconnection that includes a central stud on the backplate, locating structure for the stud on the casing, and a coupling member for releasably securing the stud to the casing. The central stud and two extending screws on the backplate are universally pivotable and integrally formed with the backplate. The screws are driven axially relative to the casing by motor driven rotated nuts within the casing to pivot the backplate and a supported mirror about the central stud.
