Abstract
Disclosed is an outside rear-view mirror for a truck or bus to the body of which a bar is mounted. A mirror housing is provided for holding a mirror glass which is mounted to the bar by two mounting devices. Each mounting device includes a profile formed from a base wall of the mirror housing proximate to one of the side walls of the mirror housing and an intermediate member to be inserted between the bar and a profile. Thereby, transfer of vibrations of the bar to the mirror glass is substantially reduced.
