Abstract
A fastening device for vehicle accessories has a support pad attachable to a windshield of a vehicle, a support base connected with the support pad and connectable with a rearview mirror, and a resilient locking element pressing the support pad and the support base against one another and formed so that during an assembly and a disassembly of the support base and the support pad different stresses are generated such that a stress generated during the assembly of the support base and the support pad is smaller than a stress generated during the disassembly of the support base and the support pad.
