I have looked up all the models listed and do not see that.
Maybe the black lip curls in a little at the end, hard to tell.

I suppose the last 1/2 inch does taper in, I'm sort of looking for an example where the last 2/3 rds of the housing/body tapers inward. Thanks for the short list of prospects in any case.
Maybe for the owners of cars and the makers of cars, keeping the mirror clean is the more important issue. If negative air pressure sucks water back onto the mirror face, it would be a "fail", and on the customer complaint list for sure.
