    Just walk up to the spare parts counter of any Mitsubishi dealership. They will be able to get it for you if you quote the part numbers (one for each side). Mine only took a couple of days.

      is the part number the same for both LHS AND RHS..I assume it is.

      Also from the Mitsi site, I couldn't find a link to parts...or was this to find a dealer??

      Nup, different ones. What youre looking for though is MR321765 and MR321766. Sorry about that - I hadnt checked the page :oops: . There is now a related part and an associated guide.

      The Mitsubishi Link is just that - a link to the Mitsubishi Site. Its just for additional info - appears on all genuine parts pages.

      And the guide to install if you cant be bothered going back to the link on my previous post:

        $150 ... pretty expensive to fix just one side 8O
        The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

        I got mine brand new from Mitsu about 6 months ago,
        It was 24.95 each side, $50 total,
        Had to wait for 2 weeks though, it come from Adelaide,
        One of the best fixes I have ever done, nothing more irritates me more then rattling

        sorry but I thought the $150 was for the inner guard plastic...not the window guide...I remember Pannel house quoted roughly that much. You can get the guide from any of the UK sites also :

        for rough costs:

        Inner guards : ~$175 - I'd get them from panel house.
        Check : http://www.funkystyling.co.uk/item.php? ... eNumber=43

        Window Guides : ~$45 + p&h

          As I said above, walk into any Mitsi dealership and ask for Part Numbers MR321765 and MR321766. If you dont get them straight away, they should arrive within a couple of days.

            Soundproofing will do it, but its not cheap. Most shops that sell car stereos will stock it. One brand is called Dynamat I think.
