I have tried multiple things including a suction cup, some old credit cards, my fingernails, and a stiff plastic straw, I ordered some actual pry tools to see, but I feel like I will still have issues, I have gotten a good amount of clips off but it is not a big enough gap the grab the button cover from the the trackpad area and pull forward
Is this a good question?

The trick is to slide the bottom cover to the front and then lift.
I sometimes find junk has gotten into the grove area which stops it from sliding forward. I do two things I use strong duct tape to create a handle to pull forward on the front half of the cover and leave space in the center for a good suction cup to pull up and a second set of hands to hold the system. Then dripping some isopropyl alcohol along the left and right side gaps to help break the seal.

So it seems for me what is stuck is the slide in tabs, I am unsure how to get them dislodged, I also noted that the model shown in the picture is a 16 inch, however I am almost 90% sure the 13 inch has the clips as well
@gamerchapet - It's the same setup! Look at the added image
@danj Ah so looking at that all I have it the two "Drop in Tabs" the rest is dislodged, but I have no idea how to get the drop in tabs to let go, so I can move the back cover off
@gamerchapet - Slide and lift and slide a bit more. The middle drop in tabs need the lift.
I manage to get it removed, now I am stuck on the part of putting it back, I am pretty sure it's just a matter of lining it up, just taking forever to line up. (Why did they move to this from the 2015 drop in design) *sigh
