I have just got my Zalman Z11 plus and noticed how stiff the side panels were to remove. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to get around it? Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

I tried wiggling but it didn't help, I have to put a large amount of force into removing the panel still

Oh yeah I edited out the the removal the of the front. Remove the front panel to allow for additional space when wiggling. I wiggled the side panel away from the case without pulling it out of its original position while holding it by the handle in the back. I 'lifted' the back part of the side panel about 4 to 6 inches away from the case then wiggled it 1 to 2 inches in each direction.

It could also be the way that the case was designed. I had to do this since I was unable to remove the side panels from 2 of my cases since the latching part of the case was too tight fitting.

after multiple attempts of pulling the side panel off I noticed that the two side clips closest to the back on the side window snapped off and this made it easier to move. I am guessing that the clips were the problem
