Questions on 850 wagon HELP! 850 1997

I just brought home a beautiful 1997 850 wagon over the weekend.

Questions:
(1) Can you remove the 2 black "nipples" on the floor of each of the front seats (for holding the factory floor mats in place)? If so, how? On the 1995, I can simply unscrew them. I'd like to use rubber mats.

(2) There's an annoying wind noise on the driver's side when the speed is 50 mph or above. Is there anything that I can do about it?

(3) There're a couple of burnt out lights on the temperature control panel, is it easily accesible and does it use the same bulb as others (such as the gear shift bulb)? I'm guessing you gain access via the radio.

(4) It feels faster than my 203k miles' 1995 850 GLT and the suspension is more civilized. Did they make any improvement on that to a 1997's?

Thanks!
