I have a mirror that former owners put baseboard glued to outer parts, making it impossible to open the corner cabinets. Any ideas on prying this off? Will add pictures later!

    You could try spraying it with WD40 or Goo Gone and see if it helps loosen the mirror.

    If you can get a rigid scraper behind or under the edges to break it loose that might help.

    We have a mirror glued on a wall in the motor home bathroom. The wall paper needs replacing and I haven't figured our how to remove the mirror to tend to the wall. Would love to know the solution that works for you. Thank you in advance!

    I am in the same boat as Muriel!! I was frustrated so I put up art to hide each mirror in the Castle. Just read trailer there, hehehe. So, I eagerly await answers also

      Muriel and Linda, it is nearly impossible to do without breaking...been there done that. Can you score and tear the paper around it? If it shows, I suppose you could frame the mirror. Are you sure it is glued? The one mirror I had looked and felt glued, but was on a cleat, and was "sealed" on the perimeter with 2-sided tape.

    I was watching the removal of mirrors at a gym and asked the glass guys if there was any other way to get them off. They said, "Nope. break 'em up and trash 'em." Seems like a waste. They had to chip and grind off the old glue

    to prepare the walls for the painters.

      Thanks for asking. This is a very large mirror from sink to just under the lights. I don't want to replace it. Think of just cutting wall paper to go to edges of mirror. Want warmer weather to try my idea. Thanks again for input.
