Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head adjustable about a mounting structure that includes an arm having a ball member. The mirror head includes a socket that receives the ball member. The arm and the ball member have a passageway. The mirror head accommodates an electronic component and a heatsink that is thermally coupled to the electronic component and draws heat away from the electronic component when the electronic component is electrically operated and generates heat within the interior cavity of the mirror head. An air source directs airflow through the passageway and into the interior cavity of the mirror head and the airflow flows through the interior cavity of the mirror head and exits the interior cavity of the mirror head to dissipate heat from the heatsink and the interior cavity of the mirror head.

Abstract: A vehicular charge port closure system includes a cover panel disposed at a charge port of a vehicle. The cover panel is movable between a closed position and an opened position. When an actuator is electrically operated to move the cover panel between the closed position and the opened position, the actuator imparts translational movement of a translating element relative to the charge port and an outer panel of the vehicle. The cover panel is pivotally mounted at the translating element. When the actuator is operated to move the cover panel from the closed position to the opened position, the translating element moves relative to the charge port and outer panel and the cover panel moves at least partially away from the outer panel of the vehicle and toward the charge port and moves at least partially behind the outer panel of the vehicle and away from the charge port.

Abstract: A vehicular frameless interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head and a mounting portion. The mirror head includes a mirror reflective element and a mirror casing. The mirror reflective element includes a glass substrate having a planar front side and a planar rear side. No portion of the mirror casing overlaps the planar front side of the glass substrate of the mirror reflective element. A camera is disposed within the mirror casing behind the mirror reflective element. With the mounting portion of the mirror assembly mounted at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle, the camera views a driver of the vehicle, and when the mirror head is moved by the driver to adjust a rearward view of the driver, the camera moves in tandem with movement of the mirror head. The camera is part of a driver monitoring system of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly having a mirror head adjustable about a mounting base. At least one near infrared light emitter is accommodated by the mirror head and is operable to emit near infrared light toward a head region of the driver of the vehicle that does not pass through a transflective mirror reflector of an electrochromic mirror reflective element of the mirror assembly. A driver monitoring camera is accommodated by the mirror head and moves in tandem with the mirror head when the mirror head is adjusted relative to the mounting base to adjust a driver's rearward view. The driver monitoring camera does not view through the transflective mirror reflector of the electrochromic mirror reflective element. The system adjusts processing of captured image data to accommodate adjustment of the mirror head when the driver adjusts the mirror head to adjust the driver's rearward view.

Abstract: A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mounting arm and a mirror head having a mirror reflective element. An electrically-operated actuator includes a first attachment element that attaches at an actuator-mounting bracket of the mounting arm and a second attachment element that attaches at the mirror head. The actuator is electrically operated to cause adjustment of the mirror head relative to the mounting arm about first and second pivot axes. A mounting post of the mounting arm passes through an opening of the mirror head, the opening providing clearance between the mirror head and the mounting arm to allow movement of the mirror head relative to the mounting arm during electrical operation of the actuator when the base mounting portion of the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly is mounted at a side of a vehicle.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a vehicular rear slider window assembly includes attaching an upper rail and a lower rail at an inner side of a fixed window panel. The lower rail includes a first attaching surface that attaches at the fixed window panel and a second attaching surface opposite the first attaching surface. The method includes disposing a movable window panel in a channel of the lower rail and a channel of the upper rail and attaching a retaining element along the lower rail and at the second attaching surface of the lower rail. The retaining element includes an attaching portion that attaches at the second attaching surface and a retaining portion that extends at least partially across the channel of the lower rail to limit vertical movement of the movable window panel relative to the upper and lower rails.

Abstract: A vehicular cabin monitoring system includes a radar assembly disposed in a cabin of a vehicle and operable to capture radar data. The radar assembly includes at least one radar transmit antenna that is operable to transmit radar waves and at least one radar receive antenna that is operable to receive radar waves. The transmitted radar waves are transmitted at least to a hotspot zone in the cabin of the vehicle. A data processor is operable to process radar data captured by the radar assembly. The vehicular cabin monitoring system, via processing at the data processor of radar data captured by the radar assembly, determines presence within the hotspot zone of a body part of an occupant present in the cabin of the vehicle. At least in part responsive to determining presence within the hotspot zone of the body part of the occupant, a window of the vehicle is opened.

Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head and a mirror mount that attaches at the interior surface of the vehicle. The mirror head includes an actuator having a body portion attached at a back plate at the rear of the reflective element and an adapter plate attached at the mirror mount and pivotable relative to the body portion. The actuator includes a pair of arcuate gear elements that attach at one end to the adapter plate and that are movably received at the body portion. The actuator includes a pair of motors operable to rotatably drive respective gears that engage the respective arcuate gear elements. When the gears are rotably driven, the gears impart pivotal movement of the body portion and mirror head in tandem relative to the mirror mount to adjust the mirror head relative to provide a rearward view for a driver of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method of testing a seal of a rearview mirror assembly includes providing a mounting arm for a vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly. The mounting arm includes an attachment end configured to be mounted at an exterior portion of a vehicle and providing a mounting element that is at least partially transparent. The attachment end is mounted to the mounting element with sealant disposed between the mounting arm and the mounting element to establish a test seal between the mounting arm and the mounting element. A shim is disposed between the mounting arm and the mounting element. A thickness of the shim is based on a threshold interference level of the test seal. Based on a determination of a gap between the mounting arm and the mounting element, determining that an interference between the mounting arm and the sealant is less than the threshold interference level of the test seal.
