Abstract: A telescoping mirror pivot assembly comprises a telescoping frame assembly, a central shaft, and a mirror head. The telescoping frame assembly may include a first end and a second end. The central shaft may be coupled to the first end of the telescoping frame assembly. The central shaft may include a detent manual fold arm. The detent manual fold arm may comprise a first detent and a second detent. The first detent may be configured to mechanically secure the telescoping frame assembly in a first position. The second detent may be configured to mechanically secure the telescoping frame assembly in a second position. The mirror head may be coupled to the second end of the telescoping frame assembly. The telescoping frame assembly may be configured to transition from the first position to the second position when a first force is applied in a first direction to the mirror head.
