Abstract: A pivot mechanism (10) for a vehicle external rear view mirror assembly including: a base frame portion (20) and a case frame portion (30) mounted to the base frame portion (20) for rotation about a pivot axis (12). A detent (40) operable between the base frame portion (20) and the case frame portion (30) is provided. The detent (40) has an engaged position and a disengaged position, the disengaged position allowing the rotation about the pivot axis (12). A spring mechanism (50) clamps the case frame portion (30) to the base frame portion (20) and a first set (42) of detent features to a second set (46) of detent features. A support arm (70) having an attachment end (72) and a floating end (78) is provided. The attachment end (72) is fixed to, and is fixed against rotation with respect to the case frame portion (30), and the second set (46) of detent features is fixed against rotation with respect to the base frame portion (20).
