EXTENDABLE MIRROR ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE
An extendable mirror assembly configured to be coupled to a vehicle includes a drive assembly, a mirror moveable between a retracted position and an extended position, and a support arm including a first end opposite a second end. The second end of the support arm is coupled to the mirror and a flange is coupled to the first end of the support arm. A support body is coupled to the support arm by the flange and is configured to translate along an axis in response to actuation of the drive assembly to move the mirror between the retracted position and the extended position.

EXTERIOR MIRROR UNIT
An exterior mirror unit for a motor vehicle includes a mirror part and a carrier which carries the mirror part. The mirror part is detachably fixed to the carrier via a coupling. A method is also provided for detaching a mirror part of an exterior mirror unit for a motor vehicle from a carrier of the exterior mirror unit in which a coupling between the mirror part and the carrier is adjusted from the lock position to the release position.

Exterior rearview mirror assembly for vehicle
An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror head having a mirror casing and a mirror reflective element. A mounting arm is configured for attachment at a side of the vehicle, with the mirror head adjustably mounted at the mounting arm. An adjustment mechanism adjusts the mirror head position relative to the mounting arm between a retracted position and an extended position. The adjustment mechanism, when adjusting the mirror head position, also adjusts a mirror head angle relative to the side of the vehicle. When the mirror head is in the retracted position, a mirror head surface is at a first plane, while, when the mirror head is in the extended position, the mirror head surface is at a second plane. The mirror head surface is angled more towards the side of the vehicle when in the second plane than when in the first plane.

Removable side view mirror for vehicle
A side view mirror assembly includes a retention mechanism, a securing mechanism, and a reflective surface. The retention mechanism may be configured to engage at least a portion of a windowsill of a vehicle. The securing mechanism may be connected to the retention mechanism and configured to removably secure the mirror assembly to a surface of the vehicle. The reflective surface may be connected to the retention mechanism.
