Here's how the side view and rear view mirror work on your car.

The side view mirror allows you to see what's directly beside you behind your car. On older base model economy cars, a tab inside the mirror controls its angle for adjustment according to the driver's view. The mirror pivots on a ball socket and has a small control arm that is accessible from inside the cabin. The ball socket provides two degrees of freedom for the mirror, which itself is mounted on a plastic base. The structure of the mirror is made of a composite plastic material for strength.

The rear view mirror is situated on top of the windshield and helps the driver see what is directly behind the vehicle by reflecting the rear glass. Older vehicles use a flip up manually dimming mirror, which have a tab that angles the mirror upward for night time. This deflects the glare up, away from the driver's eye, while still allowing the driver to see some light behind the vehicle.

In this video, both a manually adjusting side view and rear view mirror are cut open and taken apart to explain how these mechanisms work so we can see what's behind our car when driving.
