Title: Foretravel inside mirrors
Post by: Michael Riensche on April 13, 2024, 09:47:54 pm
We have a U240 with a number of mirrors as backsplashes. I'd like to remove the ones behind the range and the bathroom faucet. Has anyone removed any interior mirrors in their coach? I assume they are glued onto the wall but if anyone has any insight of what I may be facing, I appreciate some knowledge from the group.
Thank you in advance for the advice.
Michael

Mine were attached with silicone and at bathroom sink edging plus silicone. Flexible putty knife around every edge, thin piece of 1 1/2 inch stock flat metal bar from Lowes, wear gloves and goggles and start gently prying away from wall. Also warmed it up with heat gun.

Silicone to the wall. Put tape on the mirror to keep the pieces from flying all over. Sometimes likeRealm coy said you can get something started behind and cut the silicone. I had a long thin knife when I was working that helped sometimes.

That's helpful. I wonder if a piano wire or guitar string could be used to cut the silicone to get the mirror free of the wall?

We were worried having the mirror removed in the dining area. It actually popped right off in one piece using a paint scraper.

We have done that also at work.

Believe it or not, braided fishing line (my preferred weapon), or you could just go for the old flexi-scraper method.
