Abstract
An external rearview mirror for a vehicle, with adjustment of the mirror being effected by a hand lever that removably engages in a funnel-like adjustment member that is disposed within a pivotable housing for the mirror body. In order in an operative position of the mirror to always assure a positive connection between the adjustment member and the hand lever, the adjustment member, with a resilient restoring force, rests against the hand lever in the operative position of the mirror, and rests against a stop in a non-operative, swung in or swung out position of the mirror. This restoring force is preferably effected by a torsion spring.
