after all screws and clips are removed, the door panel should lift up. This is easier if the window is down. The panel sometimes fits very tight along the window seal. If you could post a picture of your progress, it would help in answering your question.
good luck.

I will try to post some pics, but i don't have a camera right now! so i will try to explain you was going on!
i look inside the door panel i saw a metal string attached to the door handle! i am no sure if I have to pull off the string from there. I also tried to pull the panel from the bottom but i can not force it cause I could break it. ( i looked inside it seems to be glued to the other part)

Are you sure you got all the clips?

Lift Hard
Don't ask why, but I've had the doors off more times then I would like to admit. After you've undone the 3 torx screws and unsapped the bottom and outside lower edge of the doors, you really have to lift hard. Grab the door panel at the top on the latch side, and lift hard. The panel will either seperate from the window rubber trim that's holding it, or it will come up with the trim. You'll have a couple of wires to undo, depending on the door your working on, and the wire for the door latch will need to be undone aswell.
Good luck.
