It comprises a mirror base (200), a mirror housing (300) rotatable to the mirror base (200) between a non-driving retracted position and a driving protracted position around an axis (X), a non-metallic spring (400) for providing an axial spring force between the mirror base (200) and the mirror housing (300) whose force differs at least between the non-driving retracted and the driving protracted positions; and a first guide portion (350) for contacting a first contact area (450) of the non-metallic spring (400), and a second guide portion (250) for contacting a second contact area (460) of the non-metallic spring (400). The guide portions (350, 250) are configured such that, during rotation of the mirror housing (300) to the mirror base (200), at least one deformable portion (405) of the non-metallic spring (400) between the first and second contact areas (450, 460) is deformed in a direction (Y) substantially perpendicular to the mirror rotation axis (X).
