Abstract

A vehicle door, which can be attached with hinges to a motor vehicle, wherein the vehicle door (1; 33) has an inside wall (8), an outside wall and window channel profiles (2; 18; 28) and wherein a triangular mirror bracket (3; 13; 25; 34) is provided above the outside wall for mounting the outside mirror (4). In order that the triangular mirror bracket (3; 13; 25; 34) can be installed quickly and easily in the vehicle door (1) and can be replaced easily during subsequent repairs, the triangular mirror bracket (3; 13; 25; 34) is provided on its underside (5; 16) with a pin (6; 17; 26), which is inserted into a recess (7; 21; 27) of a bearing structural component (22; 28) of the door (1) to mount the triangular mirror bracket (3; 13; 25; 34) to the vehicle door (1; 33).
