Rearview assembly

Abstract:

A rearview assembly includes a housing configured to support a rearview device. A button is disposed on a side of the housing and includes a proximal end adjacent the rearview device. A distal portion is spaced from the rearview device. A switch is proximate the distal portion of the button. Actuation of the switch activates a function of the rearview device. The requisite force to actuate the button decreases as the force is moved from the proximal end of the button to the distal portion. The switch is in abutting contact with the housing at the proximal end and is spaced from the housing by a gap at the distal portion.
