Abstract

A vehicle door mirror includes a mirror housing accommodating an electrical component therein, a base member made from a resin, and a shaft having a cord through hole through which a cord that is to be connected to the electrical component is inserted, the shaft being standingly provided on the base member so as to pivotably support a base end portion of the mirror housing. The base member has a slit formed therein. The slit has an outer end opening on a side edge of the base member so that the cord guided out from the cord through hole toward the base member side can be inserted through the slit. A linking part that links paired mutually opposing side faces of the slit together via an inner end part of the slit is formed on the base member so as to have a shape protruding downward.

wherein a linking part, that links a pair of mutually opposing side faces of the slit to each other via an inner end part of the slit, is integrally formed on the base member out of said resin material and configured so as to have a shape that protrudes downward below the side faces of the slit.

2. The vehicle door mirror according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft comprises a restricting projection portion which is projectingly provided on a lower end part thereof at one position in a peripheral direction, the cord being sandwiched between a lower end of the restricting projection portion and an upper surface of the linking part.
