Abstract:
A vehicle door mirror comprising:a housing; an intermediate member having an abutment surface adapted to abut against a complementary surface of a vehicle door; a cylindrical stem having a first end mounted to the housing for axial movement relative thereto, the stem having a second end projecting through a hole in the abutment surface so as to engage in a mounting hole in the door and having radial first primary engagement members adapted to engage with first complementary engagement members on the periphery of the mounting hole so as to prevent removal of the stem from the mounting hole when the stem is in a predetermined orientation with respect to the mounting hole; and a spring compressed between the housing and the stem to cause retraction of the stem inwardly of the housing, thereby urging the first primary and first complementary engagement members into engagement.
