This invention intends to enhance motor holding performance of a motor holding member in an electric retractable view device for a vehicle. An electric retracting unit includes a rotating body. The rotating body includes an outer plate (motor holding member) that holds a motor body of a motor. The outer plate includes a barrel and a claw engagement piece. The barrel receives the motor body in an inner space. The claw engagement piece engages with a rear end face (engaged portion) of the motor body received in the barrel and locks the motor so as to prevent axial movement. An engagement surface of the engagement claw of the claw engagement piece is disposed at a position on a deeper side of the inner space relative to an open end of the inner space of the barrel.
