Abstract

An adjustable convex rearview mirror comprising a mirror housing carrying a convex mirror and a support housing pivotally coupled to the mirror housing and adapted to be rigidly secured to a planar surface, such as the exterior rearview mirror of a motor vehicle. The mirror housing telescopically receives a part of the support housing therein. The support housing has a cantilever arm thereon with a pin at the distal end. This pin is selectively received in a plurality of apertures in the mirror housing to selectively adjust the angular alignment of the mirror relative to the support housing.
