Question

back up...until today.it only comes back half way up than stop.i tried to take
the door apart but still cant while all the screws are off....thanks for your time

Answer
There are six screws holding the door panel in place:
-- one in the inside door handle bezel-- remove the bezel
-- one in the pull grip
-- two in the front of the door panel
-- two in the rear of the door panel.

If you indeed have all these screws and the bezel removed, then the panel should snap loose from the door.  It'll also be to your benefit to remove the triangular trim inside the mirror.  It may require significant effort to get the door panel loose; the retaining clips are sometimes quite stubborn.  Pull loose from the bottom first.  Once the panel is loose, you'll need to slide it up and off the window sill.

Once you've got the door panel off, check to see if the screws attaching the window glass to the regulator have come loose or out.  This is the most frequent issue.
