Abstract
A mirror assembly (30) has a housing (32) that houses a mirrored reflecting surface (40) for enabling a person in a driver's compartment of a vehicle cab (10) to look through a side door window opening (20) and see a field of view toward the rear of the vehicle. The mirror assembly mounting (32) includes a mounting bar (42) that is attached to the side door, that has a length running along the top margin of the door, and that along at least a portion of that length comprises an upwardly open channel (50) for collecting rainwater runoff from the roof and carrying it rearward before the runoff can wash across the window opening.
