Hello, as sort of a follow up to my last post it seems my pc case has some pretty bad air cooling features in that there are very little entry holes on the front panel for outside air to get in. Thus I have decided I want to replce the front plastic (that looks like glass) with mesh to help with better cooling. I ask, how could I go about removing this plastic safely and how would I apply the mesh to the front panel. Thank you

 

I have found some woven mesh on amazon too, would this be okay for is there better elsewhere? (UK) : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06Y3Z6D99/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_dDk-EbGS4W8X6

its probably glued in so you will likely need a heat gun to loosen the glue and some type of pry tool to lift the plexiglass as it loosens if there is no screws on the back side holding it in.

Thank you for the help, I will likely use a hair dryer so hopefully that can do the job
