ABSTRACT:
An adjustable side view mirror that utilizes a flexible seal between a mirror and a headshell of the adjustable side view mirror so as to eliminate wind noise created by the clearance between the mirror and the headshell of a conventional adjustable side view mirror. The flexible seal allows the mirror to be mounted outside the headshell which allows for a reduction in the size of the headshell, therefore creating less wind resistance when traveling, which in turn leads to a greater efficiency of the vehicle. The flexible seal prevents moisture and contamination from entering the headshell and possibly damaging a power pack for adjusting the mirror.
