Probably a long shot and I will need to hit Mitsubishi in the states, but does anyone know of a local source or a part # for the front window guide clips? I guess mine must have had window visors at 1 point, now the windows dont close at highway speeds.

i to have that problem , pain in the ass,however if your doing freeway speeds try putting the passenger side down a little, and wait for the golden oppertunity were your window will be sucked inwards enough for you to quickly do it up.It works 24 hours of driving to Bella Colla i became a master at it. I even would say hah! i win ,knowing the challenge that aproched when it came to peace and quietness in the cab. P.S i need clips too

A quick solution is to have a small suction cup handy--it works really well for pulling the window into the slot at highway speed. It's easiest if you're traveling with someone so you don't need to drive hands-free for a moment.

Part # mb421735, $5.11 each at North Shore Mitsubishi. Took them a week to get but whatever, I can close the windows at any speed now.

Great find! What is the part exactly? Is it a piece of plastic that guides the window up into the seal at the top of the door?
My window folds over some of the weather stripping (or seal . . . not sure what the term is) when I try to close at highway speed. If you are able to describe the part or take a photo I would appreciate it, especially if it helps our windows close better. Thanks.

That is exactly what it is for. I will take a pick later today. Takes about 30 seconds to install.
