Angry What holds the rear view mirror in???

Ok i was installing my headliner today and went to put the rear view mirror in and it wont stay, i pluged every thing in and i got to looking and it looks like the only thing holding it up was a little hook thing in the front(closest to the windshield) but ide hook it in but if you bearly touch it it falls and hangs by the electrical cords, what all holds the mirror in, i cant figure it out, and diagrams or pictures would help....
