The present invention relates to a rearview mirror assembly for installation on the side of a motor vehicle. The assembly comprises a fixed support structure constructed and arranged to be mounted on the side of the motor vehicle exterior such that the assembly extends laterally outwardly with respect to the vehicle. A mirror housing structure is mounted to the support structure for angular movement about a generally vertically extending axis with respect to the vehicle. A movable mirror housing is slidably mounted to the mounting structure. The housing has a mounting structure engaging surface engaging the mounting structure in tightly fit relation to prevent relative vibratory movements between the housing and the mounting structure as a result of vehicle vibrations. A mirror is mounted to the mirror housing. The mirror is positioned and configured to reflect images of objects disposed rearwardly of the mirror assembly to a drive seated within the vehicle. The tightly fit relation between the mounting structure engaging surface and the mounting structure is such that (1) the mirror housing can be manually repositioned laterally towards or away from the vehicle through an infinite range of positions while the mirror faces rearwardly with respect to the vehicle by manually applying lateral force to said housing directed towards or away from the vehicle sufficient to overcome the tightly fit relation without performing additional manual releasing steps and (2) the mirror housing will thereafter remain in a selected one of the positions absent application of lateral force to the housing sufficient to overcome the tightly fit relation without performing additional manual securing operations.
