The fastening plate (5) of the glass support plate (9) attached to the mirror glass (9.9) is inside the exterior rear-view automobile mirror housing (3), which is shell-shaped and open on one side. This fastening plate is adjustable by means of a Cardan joint. The glass support plate is attached in an adjustable manner to the fastening plate by a clamp ring (7).
