Abstract: An external mirror assembly for vehicles, which can be fastened to a fixture on the bodywork side and which exhibits a mirror casing in which a mirror glass is securable to a holding part. The mirror casing, following the fitting of the holding part to the vehicle, can be pushed over the holding part and can be detachably secured in an end position.

Abstract: A folding hood for motor vehicles has a dimensionally stable rear window, especially made of mineral glass, which, when the hood is closed, is connected along its lower edge side via a rigidly tensioned tensioning means to a material-retaining hoop forming the lower termination of the hood. When the hood is folded down, the rear window can be folded downwards into a storage position about an axis extending approximately parallel to the lower edge side of the rear window. In order to prevent drumming noises produced during driving operation by flapping movements of the rear window, a support device is arranged on the material retaining hoop, by which the rear window is supported, close to its lower edge side, transversely to the direction of tension of the tensioning means on the material-retaining hoop, while the folding hood remains closed.
