Default Antec 900 top cowl question

I'm working on stripping down my 900 so that I can do some case mods...the problem I am encountering is that I can't get the top cowl off. I see 4 tabs from the middle to the back, but pressing that is not sufficient to get it off. Is there something I'm missing here? I stopped so I don't break it trying to tear it down. I have everything else pulled off.

originally posted my soundx98:
Yes, you can take the Top section off
(BUT YOU MAY BREAK A CLIP!)

To remove the top panel:
2 screws on the underside of top need to be removed to realease the 200mm fan.
Push the rear and side clips to the outside to release.
The front clips are 1.25” to 1.5” from the front panel.
You need to push forward from the rear.
(You can’t actually see them)
Take a long flat blade screwdriver and press the tabs gently towards the front.
(This is where I broke one of the clips)
Superglue to repair the tabs or double sided tape to secure it if necessary.
