ABSTRACT:
An exterior rearview mirror for a motor vehicle has a base for connecting the rearview to the vehicle. A pivot axle is positioned in the base so as to extend vertically or at an acute angle to the vertical. A housing is connected to the base so as to be pivotable about the pivot axle for allowing a forced folding of the rearview mirror in a folding direction from a rest position into a folded position. The housing has an opening for receiving an adjustable mirror pane. A lever with a first and a second end is connected with the first end to the pivot axle. The lever extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle or at an acute angle to this direction. The housing has a housing section facing the base. The lever penetrates the housing section and extends into the interior of the housing. A spring rests at the second end of the lever for forcing the housing against the base.
