The invention relates to an indirect rear view system for a motor vehicle, having a bearing element for fastening at least one reflection element, wherein the bearing element forms a coupling region for variable-position attachment to a vehicle-attachable adjustment element, wherein the coupling region for contacting a spherical connection region of the adjustment element has a first contact area and a second contact area axially offset with respect thereto wherein an imaginary separation surface extends through the region of transition of a main body of the bearing element into the coupling region of the bearing element, wherein the first contact area is arranged on one side of the imaginary separation surface and the second contact area is arranged on the opposite other side of the imaginary separation surface. The invention also relates to an assembly method for coupling a bearing element of the indirect rear view system according to the invention to the adjustment element, wherein the bearing element is moved from the direction of the reflection element towards the adjustment element.
An indirect rear view system for a motor vehicle, having a bearing element for fastening at least one reflection element, wherein the bearing element is provided as an integral, single-material component and forms a coupling region for position-variable attachment to an adjustment element which is attachable to the vehicle, wherein the coupling region has a first contact area and a second contact area axially offset with respect thereto for contacting a spherical connection region of the adjustment element, wherein on both sides of a pivot point, about which the bearing element can be pivoted relative to the adjustment element, an imaginary separation surface being provided as a separation plane runs through a region of a transition of a main body of the bearing element into the coupling region of the bearing element, and wherein the first contact area is arranged on one side of the imaginary separation surface and the second contact area is arranged on the opposite side of the imaginary separation surface, and wherein the connection region of the adjustment element has counter contact areas shaped like spherical sections and adapted to the contact areas of the coupling region in contact with them, which counter contact areas are connected via flattening regions or a flattening region.
