Abstract
A vehicle rear view mirror comprising a mirror plate which is provided with a reflection layer and, on the surface facing the viewer of the mirror, is provided with a scratch-resistant protective layer. An adhesive layer which is essentially made of a silicone gel is arranged between the mirror plate and the reflection layer or between the reflection layer and the scratch-resistant protective layer. The silicone gel adhesive layer is formed by an addition cross-linking two-part silicone rubber and exhibits an elasticity which prevents excessive tensions in the mirror layers due to different thermal expansion coefficient of the layers.
