Default Only broke one!!

Well you probably remember I was wondering how to get the seats out with the spot welds on the bolts. I used a breaker bar, and with some effort managed to get them all off - only snapping one bolt!!
I'll probably go and buy 4 new bolts anyway, since some of them look a little weaker and I'll need new nuts, but the seats are out, as is the carpet.

I figured since everything is out, I'm going to fully clean the inside before reassembling. All I have left is the main dash, Does anyone have tips on removing that? (The part under the windshield, down to the glovebox and steering wheel.) Any tips on removal of that would be awesome. Then I can find all the hair and coffee from the previous owner, haha.

thanks guys!
