How do I pull off the plastic side panel so i can get to the airport aerial? It's vibrating and driving me mad. I took out the 4 torx screws and the 2 screws inside the door near the latch but it still won't come off. Any ideas?

There is a Huge plastic clip behind the 'Apple' on the side of the case. Use a long flat screwdriver to 'ease' the 2 halves of the clip out. (it's like that on my older G4 case anyway, I don't see why Apple would change the molding's for the Quicksilver cases)

The other way to do it is to actually remove the mobo (not for the faint of heart) to get to the end of the plastics clip, you then can use normal pliers to snap it out of place.
