Abstract
An exterior rear view mirror assembly for a motor vehicle, comprises a first mounting plate pivotally mounted within a housing and a mirror glass secured to a second mounting plate. The first mounting plate has a pair of spaced parallel projections, each of which contains a groove confronting the groove 38) in the other projection. A pair of resilient beams are secured at their ends to the second mounting plate by spaced-apart support formations so as to engage in the grooves in the projections on the first mounting plate. One of the grooves contains protuberances positioned to engage with the beam at an intermediate location between its ends. The second mounting plate can be released from the first mounting plate by bending the beam round the protuberances so as to allow the other beam to disengage from the projections.
