How about putting the mirror under the counter top?


I would try some aluminum foil taped under the counter top.

If you really need an adsorber, you could try some black paint. I would try black paint on cardboard before painting the underside of the counter.

How about a make and model? The manufacturer might have some info that would help figure out a solution.

Greetings Dan and Bob,
I thought of this and tried the aluminum foil thing last night when I
got home and could only make it work when it was angled nearly 45
degrees and I'm looking for a flat solution. Thanks for the
suggestions though.
