A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head that includes a mirror reflective element and a mounting base configured for attachment at a side of a vehicle. The mirror head is movable relative to the mounting base between an extended position and a folded position. A pivot assembly includes (i) a pivot post fixed relative to the mounting base, (ii) a housing portion pivotable about the pivot post, and (iii) a biasing element disposed at the pivot post between the housing portion and an end of the pivot post, the biasing element urging a detent interface into engagement. The detent interface moves into engagement to secure the mirror head in the extended or folded position. The biasing element includes first and second coil portions having overlapping and alternating coil patterns.

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head accommodating a mirror reflective element. The mirror head is adjustably mounted at a mounting base configured for attachment at a side of a vehicle. A plurality of cameras are disposed at the mounting base and includes (i) a rearward viewing camera that views at least rearward of the vehicle and (ii) a downward viewing camera that views at least downward. The mirror head accommodates an electronic accessory. A wire harness passing through the mounting base to the mirror head includes individual wires that terminate at respective first, second, and third electrical connectors. The accessory is electrically connected to a power source of the vehicle via the first connector. The rearward and downward viewing cameras respectively connect to the second and third connectors to receive electrical power from the power source and provide image data to an electronic control unit.
