interior removal/replace, Haynes manual no help.. dumb questions Options

ok, the dash on my old car is 10X better than the new one... I'm about to sell the old car, but am going to remove a couple of these interior items first...

first the dash... the soft part (pass. side, near windshied) is what I really need to replace... but I can't figure out how to get this part(or the hard part) off... I removed the lower dash(knee pad) thinking that it would give access.. but it did not help... also, I saw there are 2 holes: one at either end, concealed by the door when closed... are there supposed to be screws in these? if so, what kind? they appear to be completely empty...

the other piece I am having trouble with is the passenger seat... the driver's seat came out just like Haynes said it would... the Passenger seat will slide all the way forward, but not pop out... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

last part, removing the back pad... I have removed all of the screws and the engine release knob... but the plastic piece behind the knob seems to have become a permanant part of both the backpad and the cable... it won't budge.... what's the secret to getting this off?

James,
I wanted to... but we had company at the last minute, so my Kitchen pass got revoked... :|

ok, that makes sense, I just didn't know what to look for... will that also give access to the soft part behind the dash pad on the pass. side?... this is the part I really need.

Geoff, the top part is loos already, but that plastic piece is holding the cable and backpad like there is no tommorrow... does that piece screw off of the cable? or does it just take some "persuation" ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
