An emerging side view mirror apparatus used in concealing a rear-view side mirror within a vehicle is provided. The apparatus provides concealment for the mirror within a vehicle, such that the concealed mirror is protected from glancing blows from passing/parking vehicles. The apparatus is positioned within a housing which comprises a mirror cavity portion and a mirror opening. The mirror cavity portion serves as the spatial clearance in which the mirror can be concealed. The mirror channel serves as an access opening that allows the mirror to deploy to a deployed mirror position along the door panel. The track is positioned within the mirror cavity portion and the mirror opening, serving as guiderails. The shuttle slidably engages the track with the mirror connected to the shuttle. The power supply and power source then operate the shuttle, moving the mirror between a retracted or a deployed position.
