Indirect rear view system with contact areas of a bearing element on both sides of a separation surface, load-optimized adjustment ball, and assembly method for an indirect rear view system

Abstract

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.
