Abstract
A mounting for an external rear-view mirror of a commercial vehicle comprises a tubular arm, which is supported on a metal bracket to be joined to the commercial vehicle for pivoting about a pivot axis and for snap-in locking in various pivoting positions. The end, close to the vehicle, of the arm is inserted directly as a pivoting pin in a pivot bearing opening of the bracket, a bearing bush being placed in between for the formation of a plastics-metal bearing combination, and the bearing bush having an annular projection, which is provided with locking teeth meshing with mating teeth on the bearing bush.
