I'm trying to sort a rattle from the back door, so removed the screw from the hand well ,unclipped the door card surround studs and am stuck how do I remove the door handle /electric window area with out resorting to hammers, tried to move the door car in all directions but no luck,started in a good frame of mind but now losing that !

The hand well piece should pull up and out IIRC, this sits behind a metal handle in the door, so until you remove that you'll simply be pulling against it.

Pull out from the bottom and push upwards should do it

its a 95 wrx import sportswagon , and I have looked for a way to get the electric window switch out , I've removed the door/hand well pulled the "popped the studs" surrounding the panel but the panel behind the door handle and the electric windows have me stumped I am determined not to resort to brute force , so walked away and will sneak up on it tomorrow !!!
