Abstract of the Disclosure A motor vehicle rear view mirror has a mirror or glass which pivots automatically from a normal position to an antiglare position in response to headlight glare. The glass is mounted between a front frame and a back plate of a two part housing and carries a magnetic member for cooperating with a solenoid coil of an electrical assembly. The electrical assembly is formed as a single unit mounted in the back plate and includes a photosensor receiving light through a partly silvered region of the mirror glass. A signal from the photosensor is amplified by one or more transistors to energise the solenoid coil. A pair of switch contacts are actuated when the mirror glass changes its position to the antiglare position and are arranged to reduce current flow in the coil to a level just sufficient to hold the mirror glass in the antiglare position. The rear of the mirror housing is coupled to a mounting arm by a ball and socket joint, the socket comprising an elongate bore having an inwardly tapering section to receive balls of various diameters. A locking member is secured in the bore in order to retain the ball in the bore. - 1 -
