Does anyone know how on earth i can get the rear clips on the backplate of a 2018 15" MacBook Pro to release? I was following this guide (MacBook Pro 15" Touch Bar 2018 Lower Case Replacement) and I could do everything until it said to “Pull firmly to slide the lower case towards the front of the MacBook”, I’ve tried doing so repeatedly and the clips just wont release. I don’t want to pull any harder as I’m afraid of damaging something inside.
Here’s the key!
So you need to lift the bottom edge using a set of plastic picks and a suction cup to lift the cover over the edge sliding the bottom cover down to clear the tabs and the snap catch.
