I'm looking for one of those plastic full length mirror's for the horse trailer dressing room. Don't want glass, I'll be the one that falls through a glass mirror with my one legged self. Need something that's pretty much unbreakable!! I've seen the plastic ones years ago. I can mount the plastic mirror on the door between the DR and horse area......Just "liquid nail" it to the door. Anyway, someone hook me up with a link to a full length plastic mirror.

Just spent some time looking on RV websites with no luck. Are you sure a glass one wouldn't work? I'm a gimpy klutz and have had no problems with the glass mirrors I mounted in my trailers. They are both on doors that slam and get banged around. I used the plastic clips and screws for mounting, so they could be removed for replacement. Not necessary so far.

HEY! That would work, polished stainless steel!
I remember seeing some old tack store, cataloge, that sold these plastic mirrors. They wern't all that reflective but it was better than looking at a dirt clod. Guess I should have bought one of those trailers with the stainless steel rear doors/ramp!!

I guess I could use glass. walmart has the mirrors in the frame ready to hang for $9 and some change. I found some "acrylic mirrors"....24"x48", $92.00+ shipping....I don't think so.

That's what I used, the long cheap ones. I took the glass out of the frame and put the mirror right against the door surface. This eliminated the vibration and most of the flexing that the frame provides. You could add some glue to the back, but if might be overkill and make a replacement more difficult.

If you go with glass make sure to get one with safety backing on it . Or you can put your own. Vinyl shelving contact paper works well. If mirror breaks it wont fall apart.

Collin, I'm thinking "3M vinyl trim adhesive" on a piece of seat cover vinyl. That should hold everything together. Of course, it that mirror gets broken, then I got the next seven years (of worse luck), to worry about!!

should work as long as it sticks to the mirror backing. need to cover the whole back side of the mirror with the adhesive and hope it wont eat thru the mirror backing. some glues and silicone will eat thru the backing.
