ABSTRACT:
A support for an external rearview mirror of a motor vehicle. The support serves for fastening of the mirror to the vehicle. A mirror housing, in which is disposed a mirror body, is pivotably connected to the support, via a bracket, in such a way that the mirror housing can be tilted in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The support is also provided with a releasable arresting mechanism for holding the mirror body or the mirror housing in its effective position. Also provided is a one-piece metallic member formed of a metal plate and, connected thereto, a pivot connection part for the bracket, the arresting mechanism, and means for mounting the support to the vehicle. A molded plastic member substantially surrounds the metallic member and determines the external appearance of the support. This molded plastic member is provided with catches for connecting the metallic member to the plastic member.
