Fastening construction, exterior mirror part, body part, exterior mirror unit, motor vehicle, and method

A fastening construction, for an exterior mirror unit for a motor vehicle, comprising two parts secured to each other substantially immovably at least in an axial direction,

• wherein a first of the two parts comprises a frame which is configured to cooperate with the second part in order that the first part can be connected therewith substantially immovably at least in an axial direction during use, wherein the frame of said first part accommodates a resilient element such that the frame can at least locally allow said resilient element, during assembly of the first part to the second part, to bend and/or spring away in a sideward direction which extends substantially transversely to said axial direction, while the frame at least locally prevents the resilient element from bending and/or springing away at least one way in said axial direction,
• wherein the fastening construction is configured to have the resilient element, during placement of the first and the second part onto each other, spring away and/or bend in said sideward direction and thereupon have the resilient element at least partly spring back and/or bend back, and
• wherein the second part is configured to retain the at least partly sprung-back and/or bent-back resilient element at least in axial direction.
