A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head and a mounting arm. The mirror head is mounted at the mounting arm via an adjustment mechanism. With the mounting arm attached at a side of a vehicle, an adjustment mechanism is operable to adjust the mirror head relative to the mounting arm between a retracted position and an extended position. The adjustment mechanism includes an actuator that is electrically operable to pivotally adjust a link that includes a first end pivotally attached to the mirror head and a second end pivotally attached at the mounting arm. The adjustment mechanism, when the actuator is operated, moves the mirror head along a path between the retracted and extended positions. The actuator is disposed at the mirror head so that, when the mirror head moves between the retracted and extended positions, the actuator travels along the path with the mirror head.

A towing mirror including a mount adapted to be mounted to a vehicle cabin, an extension component including a first member and a second member, one of said first and second members including one or more tracks and the other including one or more carriages, said one or more tracks and said one or more carriages being arranged such that said one or more carriages run on said one or more tracks whereby said second member may move linearly relative to said first member from a retracted position to an extended position and vice versa, and a mirror component operatively connected to said second member.

An apparatus for securing a side mirror to a vehicle includes an adapter bracket and a solid body secured to the adapter bracket with screws. The adapter bracket has a plurality of first bracket holes in a first hole pattern and a plurality of second bracket holes in a second hole pattern. Each first bracket hole is positioned to align with a threaded hole in an exterior of the vehicle for receiving a screw through a first bracket hole and threadably fastening the screw to the threaded hole to secure the adapter bracket to the vehicle. A solid body has first and second threaded blind holes in a base surface for alignment with the second bracket holes for securing the solid body to the adapter bracket with screws. A third threaded hole in a top surface of the solid body is adapted for threadably securing the side mirror.
