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

 

problem now is with the door handle area any idea how I get the door handle off,I can't find any screws holding the the inside door handle and backing plate

 

cmot... what year car is ti.... if it's a later one you need to remove the elec window switch panel.... lift the front, then the panle should come out, there's a screw under there...

 

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 !!!
