My Cube's case needed cleaning, so I disassembled the case. Now, the top plastic grille comes off the top and I cannot remember how to get it secured. Any ideas?

There are four screws that secure the actual plastic grill where as the actual enclosure is secured by two screws.

That's what I don't understand. How does the black metal hold the plastic grill?
 
The metal vent in the top center? That's held on by a black metal mesh from the inside. It pull right out from the top.
 
It's held on my friction, just pull or push it right out once the four screws are removed. Simple as that.

I can't get it to stay on. It falls off and moved (top white grill)
 
If you can't get the top grill to stay on, you may have to bend the inner black mesh to bit so that it pinches the top grill a bit more. Bend it very little at a time with the top grill out. It doesn't need to be a strong fit, just something to keep it from falling out when the Cube is flipped upside down.

Yup, got it! Thanks!
