FTO windows r hard to come by. Check will all wreckers first, then resort to Mitsubishi. If you're in Melbourne, then I'm sure Collins Mitsubishi should have one. That's where I got mine from. It costs an arm and a leg though.

HAHAHA
My mechanic said the same thing. Quoted me $50 for install before he knew what he got himself into. Then told me how difficult it was, and being the fair person that I am, I accepted his fee of $60 :D .

I paid about the same as EURO - mine got smashed by a rock from a council mower while I was doing 80 - lucky I was wearing sunnies. The coucil coughed up all the cash buy I made the mistake of taking it to the Mitsubishi dealer (Toowoomba). They did a f*ckin awful job - didn't clean out the broken glass or adjust the up stop. I got a performance car place to sort it out eventually. Try Jap Auto parts in Brisbane for a new window. If you don't have any luck PM me and I'll track down the guy who sold me mine.
