stateroom mirror
I have a 45' 1969 Connie with a flat mirror fastened to the rear bulkhead of our master stateroom. It is held in place with six chromed mirror clips, and I'd like to remove the mirror to apply new wall covering. Can anyone tell me how the mirror clips are attached to the bulkhead? I assumed they would be through-bolted and accessible from the lazarette, but I can't find any fasteners on the lazarette side that correspond to the locations of the clips. Any help much appreciated.
If they are like the ones that were on my '65 43' foot Connie they are simply screwed into the 3/4" plywood of the bulk head. The top clips have an elongated holes and you should be able to (carefully) slide them up enough so that the mirror can tip forward and be lifted off. At that point the screws holding the bottom clips will be exposed and you an unscrew them from the bulkhead. Good luck!

Randman's description is that of a standard mirror clip like those used in homes as well. I always use a thin, flexible 1 1/2" putty knife and carefully tap the end with the palm of my hand to slide the clips up. Fairly easy, just a little intimidating the first time you try it.
