    The pad should be placed near your left ear area, so that you see the mirror in the general area of the upper left most corner of your vision within your eyeglass left lens field of vision. The mirror will hang about an inch or two in front of your glasses, but to the side. Here is a picture of my mirror:

    Pull at the sticky and remove the whole mirror from your helmet. Put your helmet and glasses on and hold the mirror til you get it where you want it where you want it, then press the sticky to the INSIDE (not the outside) of your helmet edge, on the styrofoam, in such a way as to have the mirror in that upper left corner of your left eyeglass lens area. This muight be easier if you stand outside and try to see the rear mirror view as you locate where the sticky will go. Once you have it in a good position where you can see behind you, hold the sticky in place as you remove the helmet, then carefully put a dot of epoxy to re-inforce the weak/lame sticky they provide, and clamp or tape while it dries.
    When dry, adjust your mirror so you just barely have the edge of your left ear show in the mirror, and play with getting it tilted to give you a good rear view of the road in back of you. You'll get really good at adjusting the mirror with practice.
    The cheapo sticky stuff the mirror cam with sort of melted on me in the hot weather and now I always reinforce it with epoxy when I have to right spot picked out.
    Hope this is helpful.
