Linen Cabinet Mirror loose How to fix?

Top right edge of the linen cabinet mirror is loose I tried to put a staple behind it but cant get it in close enough. It looks as if it is glued in I don't want to pull it out to re-glue. The back side of the mirror is the inside of the cabinet door. So it is just a frame around the glass or that is what is seems to be.

This is one place on an RV where clear silicone is an acceptable repair product. Run a bead of clear silicone along the mirror/cabinet door area, secure the mirror with clamps or take the door off the hinges, lay it down and place books, etc on the mirror to hold it in place until the silicone cures. It won't be moveable after the silicone is hardened, so make sure the mirror is exactly where you want it before you "let it dry".....

I didn't come up with that "fix"... It's the way Keystone mounted the mirrors in our Cougar. They ran a silicone bead around all the mirrors in the vanity, closets and even the plastic doors in the TV cabinet. When I saw that, I thought, "What the heck".... After all these years, I've realized it's an easy, quick and permanent fix... Just hope the mirror never breaks, not only will you have 7 years of bad luck, it'll probably take you 7 years to get all the silicone off the door LOL

On the back side? Mine are pretty clean I will see if I can take pics and document the repair, I still have to get other stuff done on it it is on the list but not the priority since I am in the process of winterizing.

Yes, on the back side, where you'd normally put nails or glass wedges to secure the mirror to the frame. On a "new installation" I'd lay the cabinet door with the front face down, lay the mirror/glass in the space and run a bead of silicone around the perimeter. That will seal the glass into the frame.

On your "partial repair" I'd just push the mirror into place, use a clamp if needed to temporarily hold it in place and put a small bead of silicone around the loose part. Once it cures, remove the clamp and it should be a "permanent repair"....
