Abstract
A device for manually adjusting the setting of an outside vehicle rear view mirror by manually operating a grip member provided in the interior of the vehicle. The device comprises a generally cylindrical holder body rotatably but axially non-displaceably mounted in a through-hole in a front door of the vehicle. In a cavity within the holder body there is pivotally disposed an adjustment arm having a first end portion situated on the outside of the door and carrying the mirror, and a second end portion protruding through a slot in an end cover being biased towards the inside end of the holder body and against the inner surface of the door. On said second end portion the arm carries a grip member on the inside of the door, this member being manually displaceable over the surface of end cover for pivoting the arm horizontally and thereby adjusting the mirror horizontally. When said grip member is turned about the longitudinal axis of the arm the holder body will be rotated thereby adjusting the mirror vertically.
