The rear view mirror assembly (100) comprises a base portion (110) to be fixed on the motor vehicle and a movable portion (120) attached to the base portion (110). Said portions (110, 120) can be positioned at least in an operating position and in a folded position and define an interface (130) comprising teeth (140) for raising and lowering the base portion (110) relative to the movable portion (120) when they are rotated. Biasing means (160) are also provided for holding the base portion (110) against the movable portion (120). Contact areas (150) protrude from said teeth (140) providing additional resistance against rotation of the movable portion (120) to the base portion (110) through an angle of rotation (alpha) of at least 10 DEG from the folded position to the operating position.
