Abstract
A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head movable relative to a mounting base between an extended position and a folded position. An actuator is electrically operable to move the mirror head between the folded and extended positions. A pivot tube extends from the mounting base and through a base portion of the actuator. The pivot tube includes a tapered portion at least partially received at a channel of the mounting base. An inner surface of the channel includes a shape that corresponds to a shape of an outer surface of the tapered portion. A biasing element disposed between a housing of the actuator and an upper end of the pivot tube biases the tapered portion toward engagement with the inner surface of the mounting base along the channel.
