Built in headboards stuck on mobile home
+2
Hello,
I am trying to get the hideous headboards that came with my mobile home off of the bedroom walls. The only issue is there are no screws holding them in place and I can't seem to figure out how to remove them. Any hints or tricks?

A picture might help in trying to figure out this problem. I don't think I have ever seen attached headboards in a mobile home. -

I have a few ideas: 1) Some are slid down over brackets which hold them in place. Try sliding up or down. 2) Perhaps they are glued and/or nailed. Slide a putty knife or other thin bladed object in behind and try to pry it off. Or 3) slide a thin wire behind the edge and saw it back and forth, moving downward slowly to cut any caulk or glue that might be holding the headboard -

My guess (it's only a guess without seeing them), is that they are built in place. What actually fastens it to the framing is probably covered by the exterior finish. Prying it off a layer at a time may be the only option. Be prepared to repair the wall if that is the case. -

Can you be "friends" with the headboard? ...maybe refinish or cover it? Get creative! -

If you can't remove it you can shiplap it!
