A vehicle accessory mounting assembly is disclosed for securely and stably supporting a rearview mirror or another vehicular accessory on the vehicle windshield or another vehicular surface without the need for an adjustable set screw. The assembly includes a support member slidably received on a base member by spaced sets of mating surfaces. A spring retainer on one of the base and support includes one retainer arm engaging and gripping an opposing, raised rib on the other member. A second retainer arm spaced from the first retainer arm urges the first arm against the rib. Spaced, raised contact areas are provided on the mating surfaces, while spaced sliding contact areas with a relieved area therebetween are provided on another contact surface to prevent movement and/or vibration between the base and support.

A vehicle accessory mounting assembly for supporting a rearview mirror or another accessory on a support surface comprising: a base member adapted to be secured to a support surface and an accessory support member slidably fitted thereover; each of said base member and support member including front, back, top, bottom and opposing side surfaces; said side surfaces of said base member and support member including cooperating means for slidably mounting said support member on said base member such that said front surface of said base member is opposed to a rear facing surface of said support member; said front surface of said base member including a pair of upstanding, divergent ribs; said rear facing surface of said support member including a spring member having a first resilient arm with a sharp edge for simultaneously engaging said divergent ribs and a second resilient arm for engaging a portion of said front surface of said base member at a position spaced from said first arm to stabilize said support member said divergent ribs being arranged on said front surface of said base means with respect to said first resilient arm such that a different portion of said first resilient arm will engage said divergent ribs at each position of said support means on said base means on said base member; whereby when said support member is slidably mounted on said base member, said first and second arms urge said cooperating means tightly against each other while said sharp edge of said first arm engages said divergent ribs to prevent sliding removal of said support member from said base member until said first arm is released.
