Theres like 4 clips or so inside the door on the top(right behind the inside window sweep. You have to pull the clip out a little and pull it up. Make sure the windows all the way down.

Its not so much a "clip", but more like a plastic hook that hooks into hole in the top of the door shell. Like snake said make sure the window is all the way down, and its tricky, you have to push down on the plastic piece and push it towards the window to get it out. Like I said its tough sometimes, especially if someone didn't know what they were doing and bent the holes, you'll eventually get it.
