Exterior rear-view mirror

The mirror unit (1) has a mirror foot (2) and a mirror head (4) hinged to it. The hinge connection is formed by a wire bracket (3), which snaps into a locking notch (5,6) to lock the head relative to the foot. The notches are formed in foot and/or head. The bracket is mainly U-shaped, and at least one of the notches is formed to engage around the bracket legs. The wire bracket is of steel, and the mirror foot is of plastic or metal. The mirror head has a frame (9) of plastic for a mirror (7), and an adjusting drive, to move the mirror relative to the frame.
