5.25" external bays on Antec P180?

Okay, the poor case instructions are begining to annoy me. How the heck are you suppose to take out the metal plate covering each drive? The instructions say to:
"Carefully remoce the plastic drive bay cover and the metal plate covering from the drive bay"
The plastic cover slided off, but it appears you have to trim off the metal, is that correct?
Thanks

Is there a round hole near the center of the plate? If there is, stick a Philips screwdriver in the hole and rock it back and forth until the plate comes loose.

With my Antec Lanboy you had to twist it back and forth till the bits of metal holding it on broke. (Of course I didn't think to use a screwdriver to twist it) Careful, there might be some sharp burrs left over where the plate was attatched.
