An interior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a reflective element,
a housing or casing supporting the reflective element, and the casing including
a storage space. The storage space provides storage for at least one accessory
and for storing the accessory in the location easily accessible by an occupant
of the vehicle whereby the accessory can be inserted into and removed from the
storage space for use by an occupant of the vehicle. The storage space may take
the form of a recess provided in a top wall of the casing, a recessed portion provided
in a front wall, back wall, or end wall of the casing. In one form, the recessed
portion houses a pendent accessory which is movable between a retracted position
within the recess to an extended position for viewing by an occupant of the vehicle.
For example, the pendent accessory may include a reflective element or a display
element, for displaying information to an occupant of the vehicle.
