Abstract
A multi-reflective vehicular mirror is provided. A mirror housing is primarily attached to a passenger side of the vehicle and has a shell facing the front of the vehicle and a cavity facing the rear of the vehicle. The shell has a proximal side mounted on the vehicle and a distal side opposite to the proximal side. A mirror glass is mounted on the housing in the cavity and faces rearward to a vehicle driver and it is made locally reflective leaving an area clear to see-thru visions. The housing shell has a front window area with a transparent lens, which is aligned with the clear area of the mirror glass to provide a clear view through the mirror. Internally of the housing shell an elongated mirror is mounted to form a mirror-in-mirror structure.
