ABSTRACT:
A breakaway bracket is provided for mounting a rearview mirror to a button on the inner surface of a vehicle windshield. The bracket includes a spring clip which has a base portion, longitudinally extending, opposed, resilient side flanges, and a resilient locking flange which extends from the base portion. The side flanges have grooves and the locking flange has tabs so that when the bracket is mounted to the button, the grooves receive side surfaces of the button in tongue-and-groove fashion, and the tabs firmly engage a bottom surface of the button.
