P180 dust filter/side panel issues

Well, after having this system for a while the dust filters got a little dirty. So I read the manual to remove them: "Lift up the two tabs, push up and 'lift it out'". Can anyone describe this in more detail, as I cannot get the filter to come out at all...

Also, the bottom hooks on my side panel are broken! I didn't realize it until just a few days ago! Is there a way how Antec might be able to replace it? o.0...

I always just push the tabs down, and pull out. They pop right out. Pushing them up just makes it harder.

and pull what out, the filters?

EDIT: IT worked yay! Now how to get that side panel replaced... =[

Yeah, push down on the two tabs on the top of each filter. They sort of swing down and then pull out. I'm glad I didn't read the manual when I tried to take off the filters because pushing up certainly won't work unless there's been a revision to the P180 since I got mine.

As for the side panel hooks, you're on your own I think. It's possible that Antec sells new side panels but I doubt it. I'm assuming that you broke them (btw. how the heck did you do that?) and that it won't be covered by the warranty. If it came broken then call up Antec and make them replace the side panel.
