ABSTRACT:
An external mirror for a motor vehicle which includes a mirror base which can be fixed to the body of the vehicle, a mirror housing which is swingable with respect to the base and which surrounds the mirror glass on all sides and projects rearwardly of the glass to form a generally encircling bead structure, a mounting plate which bears the mirror glass, a cap part which is releasably fixable to the mounting plate, and a base part of the mirror housing. To improve the appearance of the mirror device, the cap part of the housing is constructed to project rearwardly beyond the plane of the mirror glass, with the rearward projecting part of the cap forming at least a substantial part of the edge bead.
