Abstract
A fastening device for an internal rear view mirror of motor vehicles to be installed on an inner side of a windshield contains a holding part which is held in position on the windshield by adhesive bonding, to which holding part is detachably fastened a mirror foot of the internal rear view mirror. In order to obtain a statically precisely defined, highly rigid connection between the holding part and mirror foot, it is provided that the mirror foot, in its mounted operating position, is supported directly on the holding part merely by a six-point support and is fastened to the holding part by a separate retaining device.
