Default Removing mirrors glued to a wall without breaking. Possible?

My spouse is replacing Formica countertops with granite on four vanities.
Each has a mirror that was set onto the Formica top, glue applied to the
back, then pushed to the wall. The new tops will be thicker and the mirrors
must come off or cut shorter from the bottom. Two glass companies told me
the only way to handle this is to smash the mirrors and pull the pieces off,
and ruin the drywall in the process. Are there any other options? Thanks in
advance.


Put some duct tape on the mirrors so they don't shatter, then try to
pry off with a crowbar at one end. If it breaks, just take off in
pieces. Its not rocket science.
