The invention relates to external rearview mirrors for vehicles, preferably for motor vehicles. Said external rearview mirrors have the mirror housing and the mirror support connected to each other by means of a shaped leaf spring, whereby production of said shaped leaf spring makes the external rearview mirror more costly and complicates assembly thereof. According to the invention, the external rearview mirror can be economically produced and assembled, whereby the mirror housing (2) and the mirror support (3) are connected to each other by means of at least one clip device (15, 16, 17). An additional shaped spring can thus be spared.
