This invention relates to a rear view mirror assembly which facilitates installation of components of the rear view mirror assembly on a windshield (1) of a vehicle. The rear view mirror assembly includes a first base member (3) and a unit. The first unit includes a second base member (5), a spring (9), a mounting member (14), a second ball member (18), a bolt (19) and a support arm (15) on which a rear view mirror (25) is rotatably mounted. The first base member (3) has a plurality of flanges (304, 305, 307) on which the second base member (5) of the unit is mounted. the first base member (3) is adhered to the windshield (1) by an adhesive (2). In addition, the first base member (3) is made of rolled stainless steel so that pores do not exist in a contact surface of the first base member (3). Therefore, air does not exist between the contact surface of the first base member (3) and the windshield (1), the air expanding and destroying the adhesive bond when heated by the sun. Further, the first base member (3) preferably has a similar coefficient of expansion as that of the windshield (1). |
