You may take your side cladding off - I recommend it. I painted my doors this past summer.
I had about 50% of the clips break. You can get them through your local Subie dealer, but they're big bucks (I payed just under $3 per clip!!) Part number 91017pa020. I had another number that I got on the board over the summer from a member, but it ended up being the wrong clip.
To get the cladding off, you pull the door panel, then peel back (Carefully!) the plastic lining on the door, then look through the door to find 4 studs w/nuts on them. Those what have to be removed. Take then off, then pull the top till the clips pop, then slide it down.
Good luck. Here are  of when I did it.
