  8. Most mirrors have a roll formed edge to hold the glass...VERY tricky to try and pry away and then even trickier to put back w/o the right tooling. Best of luck!
  9. I had found a company in the past that refurbishes old mirrors. found my old post here: quick check on the link tho shows a deadend. Maybe try the email address to see if still in business and report back?
