Bobby,
You're from Texas - you should know that summer hasn't
officially started until rear-view mirrors start falling off from the
heat!

Do not affix the mirror to the windscreen without an expansion pad! I
know
because when a "shade tree" replaced my windscreen several years ago he
merely glued the old mirror to the new glass. Result? It cracked of
course! The pad serves as an expansion joint allowing for hot and cold
expansion compensating for different media characteristics. So just
install
the thing with the pad and you should be alright. Good luck
