So i just removed my s340 elite's front panel to change the fan setup on my AIO.

In the process i snapped two of the top pegs off. :??: So the top half of the panel slides in no problem but it isn't a super firm fit and doesn't snap in like the bottom which still has pegs. I think what i did was pull on the bottom and not the top, which applied too much pressure and angle to the top pegs which snapped them. Should i try and pull the top and bottom off at the same time next time?
 
What you should have done to remove it was to take one side off first (the side which gives access to components) then put your hand in, and push each peg in turn on the inside whilst pulling front panel away at the same point. That's how I got mine off really easy without damage when front power button got stuck.
