There should be a bolt that holds the mirror assembly to the metal frame that the mirror sits on.

Well, this is by memory (recalling my sister's 97 f150) but the bolt should be on the bottom of the mirror........

like what i turn the mirror in, all i see is two little plug things and a hole with a large spring, it almost sounds like the ones you are talking about are the ones that aren't power mirrors.
