  • the frame in a first work step, the frame must first be attached to the base bracket by means of separate screws, before e.g. electrical and/or mechanical connections must then be produced in further steps in the inside of the exterior rear view mirror, which has poor accessibility limited by the frame.
  • the adjusting device In a separate work step, in the prior art, the adjusting device must then also be attached to the base bracket by means of separate fastening means, e.g. also screws.
  • the present invention facilitates either the saving of or the simplified execution of a work step, since the frame 03 is now attached to the base bracket 02 by means of the adjusting device 04 .
  • the invention is particularly commercially applicable in the production of exterior rear view mirror assemblies for motor vehicles.
