1. A vehicle door mirror comprising:

a mirror housing that is formed from a housing main body having a mirror housing recess part having a mirror housed therein, and a plurality of cover members that cover the housing main body from a side opposite to an open direction of the mirror housing recess part, the cover members, which are engaged with each other, being engaged with the housing main body,

wherein

the plurality of cover members each have projectingly provided thereon a restricting projection part that protrudes toward the housing main body side so as to restrict flexing of the cover member to a side close to the housing main body,

a first of the restricting projection parts projectingly provided on one cover member among the plurality of cover members, which are engaged with each other, is formed so as to be shorter than a second of the restricting projection parts projectingly provided on the other cover member and abutting against the housing main body and is disposed so as to overlap the second restricting projection part in an up-and-down direction,

the second restricting projection part has formed thereon an abutment face,

an extremity portion of the first restricting projection part being in the proximity of or abutting against the abutment face,

a groove is formed in a base end portion of the second restricting projection part, which has an extremity portion abutting against the housing main body,

the groove having one end part on the housing main body side closed as the abutment face and having the other end part on a side opposite to the housing main body open,

the first restricting projection part being fitted into the groove,

the groove having at least first and second sidewalls and a base extending between the first and second sidewalls, and

the first and second sidewalls of the groove being in the proximity of or abutting against respective first and second sidewalls of the first restricting projection part with bottom end faces of the first and second sidewalls of the first restricting projection part being in the proximity of or abutting against the base of the groove.
