Hi there! When assembling together my rig, I noticed the corner of the glass side panel is bent. Any tips on bending it back without cracking the glass?

So disappointed.

 

The correct answer is sledge hammer.

Oof. Does it interfere with closing, opening, removing, or installing the panel?

 

Pretty sure the only option you're going to have is to get a replacement, either under warranty, or pay for it.

Yeah, unfortunately it does interfere. Not massively, but the the front end of the panel isn't full clipped in so there is a small gap unlike the other side which is completely smooth.

 

Will check the warranty out, hopefully I can somehow get a replacement.

Good luck. I lived with a PC case that was damaged in shipping, but it was purely cosmetic. I thought it added character, I actually kinda liked it, but your case has damage next to glass, so I'd be really weary of it, regardless.

If you're worried about pressing on the glass you can grind that part off.  How you do it is up to you, Dremel, file, sandpaper, whatever.

This post has been ninja-edited while you weren't looking.

 

I'm a used parts bottom feeder.  Your loss is my gain.

 

I like people who tell good RGB jokes.
