A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mounting base having a socket, and a mirror head attached at and pivotable about the mounting base. The mirror head includes a variable reflectance electro-optic mirror reflective element, and a ball member that forms a pivot joint with the socket. The mirror reflective element is attached at an attachment plate that includes electrically conductive elements that are electrically connected to respective electrically conductive contacts at the rear side of the mirror reflective element via a connector portion of each electrically conductive element engaging and flexing and being biased toward the respective electrically conductive contact. The electrically conductive elements are electrically connected to a connector of the ball member. With the mounting base mounted at the interior portion of the vehicle and the ball member received in the socket of the mounting base, the connector is electrically connected to a vehicle wire harness.
