PURPOSE: To enhance durability for fixation of a housing main body and a housing closure by inserting the coupling rod shaped member of a base member into a coupling hole while being penetrated through the through hole of the housing main body, closely fitting the aforesaid member in the hole, and welding the coupling rod shaped member to the inner circumferential surface of the coupling hole by ultrasonic deposition. CONSTITUTION: A coupling rod 4f is integrally molded with a mirror housing 5, the coupling rod 4f is inserted into the through hole 4c of a housing main body 4a, and concurrently the aforesaid rod is fitted in the coupling hole 4e of a housing closure 4b so as to be welded to each other by ultrasonic deposition. As a result, since the housing closure 4b and the housing main body 4a can mutually be fixed to the mirror housing (base member) 5 with no mounting screw used, any screw will never be loosened. In this case, the housing closure 4b is firmly and mutually coupled with the mirror housing 5 via a coupling rod 4d in a form that the housing main body 4a is sandwiched between the housing closure 4b and the mirror housing 5, and reliability and durability can thereby be enhanced.
