Hi! I was planning to put my amp-signal wires in on the left side of the car, but the panel is stuck because of the handle. How do I remove it?

And as a bonus: How do i completly remove the door covers on the front doors? mine is stuck along the window!

This is i left hand drive car, btw..
 
Hi,

Handle on mine just pull out.

Door covers.
Once you removed all the screws (a mix of Allan and Phillips??) and un-clipped the plastic clips, it should come loose by lifting the bottom part away from the door and then pushing upwards. Just check, there is one screw at the back of the door handle that you will only see after you removed the door handle cover
 
Yes. It is a push clip and will clip off with a screw driver.

Ig you are 100% sure that all the bolts and screws and puddle light are removed from the door it should moove outwards freely. Then its a case of pulling from the outer bottom edge to disengage the seal area from the top of the door. Make sure your windows are all the way down.

It seems like mine is quite stuck. Do i need to remove the panel first?
 
It is 3 allen bolts and 3 standard philips screws if I remember correctly. Then the card is held by white plastic clips with several flanges. The one at the door check strap is the worst one, and will most likely crack your door card. This can be welded together again with a soldering iron. If it now is hanging freely, and just along the window, smash it quite hard upwards, using your palm on the underside of the doorcard. It will pop up from the door frame.
