How do you remove a bathroom mirror?

I'm going to replace the wallpaper in my bathroom, and would like to remove the large, rectangular mirror above the vanity. These are the mirrors that take up the entire wall!

The mirror has two clips at the top and bottom holding it in place. How to you remove these clips so you can get the mirror out?

I'm redoing our bathroom and just removed our mirror a few weeks ago.

Ours was glued to the wall and had plastic clips above the top edge and along one side. I think my clips were different from what you have. If yours are what I think they are, remove the top ones first, then lift out of the bottom ones. I don't know if glue is standard or not, but put yourself in a homebuilder's shoes- think liability and lawsuits from customers. Would you trust a few clips to hold a big piece of glass in a room that people are often barefoot in?

Before I did anything, I covered the entire mirror with clear contact paper (don't have to use clear if it's not readily available). The purpose of the contact paper is to contain the pieces of glass if the mirror should crack and break while removing it.

I then removed the clips from the top and side edge.

After that, I started working wood shims along the accessible edges and tapped them in with a rubber mallet. Rotate from shim to shim, just tapping each a little bit to evenly move the mirror away from the wall as much as possible to avoid cracking the glass.

Our bathroom mirror was 4' x 4'. I freed it from the wall by myself, but my wife helped carry it outside.

Good Luck!!!
