Abstract

In this invention a motor vehicle rear vision mirror mounting bracket has a hinge member which stands out away from an outer face of the bracket, and a rear vision mirror assembly has lugs with notches which engage the hinge member and allow the mirror assembly to hinge without contact being made between the mirror case of the assembly and the mounting bracket, thereby avoiding scuffing of the mirror case.
