The new bottom cover now wraps around the laptop. It makes disassembly more challenging as it is not just pull up or push in a certain direction. I had been following another guide, youtube1, youtube2, but the instructions don't match so I probably wasted upwards of two hours before wiggling the bottom lid finally detached.
The plastic tabs held up OK considering how much abuse I had given them.
See the pictures below:

PS, I have not been on blogger for a very long time, the edit interface is very amazing from what I remember from years ago
