1. A mirror mounting assembly for mounting a mirror glass to a mounting bar, the mirror mounting assembly comprising:

  • a base member for attachment to the mounting bar and defining a spherical surface;

    a first slide member secured to the base member and defining a spherical surface;

    a mirror housing for supporting the mirror glass disposed between the first slide member and the base member, the mirror housing defining a first spherical surface contacting the spherical surface of the base member and a second spherical surface opposite the first spherical surface;

    a second slide member slidably secured to the base member disposed between the first slide member and the mirror housing, the second slide member defining a first spherical surface contacting the spherical surface of the first slide member and a second spherical surface contacting the second spherical surface of the mirror housing;

    a first set of mating elements disposed on the spherical surface of the first slide member and the first spherical surface of the second slide member for limiting relative sliding between the first and second slide members to a first given orientation; and

    a second set of mating elements disposed on the second spherical surface of the second slide member and the second spherical surface of the mirror housing for limiting relative sliding between the second slide member and the mirror housing to a second given orientation perpendicular to the first given orientation.
