An arrangement for fastening an interior rearview mirror to a transportation vehicle, wherein the interior review mirror has a mirror head and a mirror foot connected together and the mirror foot is releasably attached to a base plate fixed to the transportation vehicle. At least one elastically deformable first clamping element is held on the mirror foot on one side and on the base plate on the other side, and the first clamping element is releasable from the base plate and/or from the mirror foot by elastic deformation. A second clamping element is held on the mirror foot on one side and on the base plate on the other side, and the second clamping element is configured so the first clamping element is completely releasable from the mirror foot or from the base plate under elastic deformation of the first clamping element without release of the second clamping element.

Apparatus for attaching a rear-view mirror to the interior of a transportation vehicle and transportation vehicle

An arrangement for mounting an inside rearview mirror in a vehicle. The inside rearview mirror has a mirror head that is adjustably mounted, by the agency of a mirror base, on a base plate permanently attached to the vehicle. The mirror base is mounted on the base plate through a first support point so as to be pivotable about a vehicle transverse axis and also through a second, detachable rear support point. The first support point is formed by two bearing side pieces of the base plate. Each of the bearing side pieces has a bearing eye in which the mirror base is mounted by means of bearing axle(s) so as to be pivotable about a vehicle transverse axis. At least one bearing side piece is designed to be slotted toward and transversely to the central axis of the bearing eye for installation of the relevant bearing axle.
