If you find out please let me know as mine are brittle and liable to go.

It appears, on looking through the parts database that the above items have been upgraded to a new design. Matching through newer vehicles I've managed to match these:-

63335L Part No: MB416315
63335R Part No: MB416315
63336L Part No: MB416308
63336R Part No: MB416308
63337C No longer manufactured. Part replaced by upgraded design of item 63337B Part No: MB416325. You may require a replacement of item 63317 to hold it, which is part No: MB416324.

You should be able to get these through your local Mitsubishi dealer.

If not let me know and I will check with another source.

Right, been to Mitsubishi Hull and good news is all the parts are available but can take up to 65 days to arrive.

Part numbers are slightly different as I gave my chassis number to them.

Now the bad?news, cost!!!

MB416324. Holder seal rubber. £11.73. X 3 = £35.19
MB416323. Seal rubber side glass. £5.87. X 3 = £17.61
MB416314 Run channel right hand £61.84 X 2 = 123.68
MB 416316 Run channel left hand. £64.84 X. 1 = £64.55
Goods Total = £241.03
VAT = £48.21
Total = £289.24

Now the really bad news!!
If you want MB416308 Sash Qtr Window they are £142 + Vat Each!!!!
I wanted 3 but have decided not to get them and if I have to do some (ahem) mod work to get every thing to fit I will.

Part no differences:-

MB 416324 was 63317
MB 416316 was 63335L
MB 416314 was 63335R
MB 416 323 was 63337B

And for reference if you are flush with cash MB 416308 was 63336L/R, both have same number now.

Thanks to Lewis for the numbers.

HTH.

Just been in touch with local Mitsubishi dealer to get prices as I hadn't seen this thread yet. I thought the guy was joking when he told me those prices for the rubber...

Don't suppose anyone with the same issue went down a more wallet friendly route to replace the rubbers?

A gentleman I spoke to at seals direct suggested two single channel rubbers; one for each glass channel. Not sure if that seems too bodgy.

I know they don't open as far, which could be a good or a bad thing, but the 1-piece, side hinged windows do not seem to develop the problems of the side-sliding type. I suspect the apertures in the bodywork are the same, so you would just need to strip out the windows and seals from a scrapper. Their benefit is a flusher fit, with no ledges or channels to gather gunge and rust, nor water to make the rubbers rot. The door window is fixed.

I agree Andy, I have the hinged ones in at the minute and to be honest I do think they look smarter (and probably are less problem-prone as you say). However, the spare set of sliding windows I have are in pretty decent nick, ideally I just want to replace the rubber track that sits inside the frame (and holds the glass in place) as they're a bit on the crusty side.

Was hoping someone with the sliders might have found an alternative to the OEM rubber tracks. Some of the generic 'U' shape flocked rubber tracks look like they would be appropriate, they just don't bridge over the thin metal divider between where the glass panes slide.

This is the image I sent to a rubber seal supplier, it might help someone in the same situation:
