Thanks for the help, Ed, but No Luck. I need a smaller mirror.  I can
get a finger on (what I think is) the peg and c-clip on the back side
of the slide. But I can't feel the open end of the c-clip (which has
me thinking it is facing down where a finger can't get to it). It also
feels like there is a gap near the top, so if I get a smaller mirror
and an L-shaped tool to get into that gap to pry it off, I might get
lucky.

Sorry for the hazy picture; the flash didn't get behind the window, and
GIMP can only do so much to brighten the image.
