Pivotable motor vehicle mirror assembly

A power telescoping mirror pivot assembly, comprising:

• a base frame including a lower arm;
• an upper bracket mounted to the base frame;
• a central shaft extending between the lower arm and the upper bracket, the central shaft including an upper portion and a lower portion;
• a first telescoping arm assembly including a first end and a second end, the first end of the first telescoping arm assembly coupled to the upper portion of the central shaft;
• a second telescoping arm assembly including a first end and a second end, the first end of the second telescoping arm assembly coupled to the lower portion of the central shaft;
• a first powerfold motor coupled to the first telescoping arm assembly, the first powerfold motor configured to rotate the first telescoping arm assembly about the central shaft;
• a second powerfold motor coupled to the second telescoping arm assembly, the second powerfold motor configured to rotate the second telescoping arm assembly about the central shaft;
• a mirror head coupled to the second end of the first telescoping arm assembly and the second end of the second telescoping arm assembly;
• and
• at least one pin connecting the first powerfold motor and the second powerfold motor.

A telescoping mirror pivot assembly, comprising:

• a telescoping frame assembly including a first end and a second end;
• a central shaft coupled to the first end of the telescoping frame assembly, the central shaft including a detent manual fold arm, the detent manual fold arm comprising:
• a first detent configured to mechanically secure the telescoping frame assembly in a first position;
• and
• a second detent configured to mechanically secure the telescoping frame assembly in a second position;
• and
• a mirror head coupled to the second end of the telescoping frame assembly;
• wherein the telescoping frame assembly is configured to transition from the first position to the second position when a first force is applied in a first direction to the mirror head.

A method of operating a mirror head assembly comprising:

• securing a first end of a telescoping frame assembly at a first position with a first detent on a detent manual fold arm of a central shaft, a second end of the telescoping frame assembly being coupled to a mirror head;
• providing a manual force on the telescoping arm assembly;
• based on the manual force, removing the first end of the telescoping frame assembly from the first position and rotating the telescoping frame assembly about the central shaft;
• and
• based on the rotation of the telescoping frame assembly, securing the telescoping frame assembly at a second position with a second detent on the detent manual fold arm.
