ABSTRACT:
A rearview mirror for vehicles especially adapted for exterior vehicle use with electro-optic/electrochromic mirror units includes a reflective mirror element and a surrounding bezel having a raised edge or crown. The raised crown provides an appearance of narrowness and reduced bezel size. The bezel is preferably also thinner at the sides of the mirror than at the top or bottom and includes a rear retaining member which resiliently traps the mirror between a pair of resilient compressible seal members to form a continuous pocket at the edge of the mirror which is sealed against humidity, dirt, water, salt spray and other environmental effects commonly encountered by vehicles. Opposite polarity electrical connections for the electro-optic mirror unit are provided in different sizes or are mounted in different directions to prevent incorrect polarity connections to the vehicle electrical system.
