Charade Checking Straps

Forum: 

Hey guys!

Resently bought a 93 Jap import 1.3 charade and like all good project cars it's got a few problems. Most are sorted now but I need to change the checking strap on the driver's door bout I can't get the frecking door panells off!!!!!!!!! I can't get the the manual window handles(Sad! Yes, I know.) off! I don't wanna start pulling and breaking coz getting parts is costing a fortune coz they all coming from Japan. Can anyone help?
