I know this is an old thread but has anyone found a safe way to remove the lower seal? I suppose it is the lower window frame. I found a screw on either end of the rail but it will not release. I popped the door panel and cannot see any other screws. I am painting my car soon and want to remove as much as possible. Any ideas?

I too have been looking. I think its called "drip molding". Found this:
1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Drip molding Parts

havent ordered yet

 

[1995silvergst]

These are no longer made but there is a slight chance they have found a stash, I ordered one of each and will let you know if they actually fill the order!

I tried to order these as well and got an email stating they are no longer available. This was about 2 months ago. I hope they found some more somewhere. These are "almost" impossible to find. I have made it my mission to find some somewhere. I have even made contacts all around the globe and have come up empty handed. I will post information here if I find some. I know many people are looking for these parts.

Well i got my lower ones out. Only one screw on either end. Then take off door panel, lower window then use a long flat tip screw driver to bend in tabs under the lip. They are riveted to the the molding, you cant miss them. I took some pictures if you guys wanna see them. It feels like the trim is going to break when you re pulling on it, dont be scared .

 

[quackie01]

Sure, Post some pictures. That will be helpful in many ways.

Emailed me back today driver side obsolete not available and the passenger side they have three only FYI!

 

[boost97gst]

Thanks for the heads up. I got lucky: The guy who did my paint and body work did one hell of a job on mine and they dont need to be replaced anymore. whew...

I called and spoke with MitsubishiPartsDepot(Mitsubishi Dealerin New Bedford, MA) (Jane 508-742-2960) and looked into the availability of the drip moldings. I asked her to confirm the part number for theavailable drip moldings and I discovered that the drip molding available are for the Spyder, not the coupe. The full length drip rail for the coupe are no longer available, but there are a few remaining in the system for the Spyder(shorter). I asked her to provide the part number of the available drip rail and she told me it was MR155221. This number is for the Spyder-Driver side. The part number for the coupe is MB881973(driver side) and MB881974(Passenger side)-both which are "no longer available". I almost ordered the wrong one until I clarified this with her as I have the coupe. Let me know if you find something different to be true.

I didn't send my vin so they said three available for all models great catch!

Anyone looking for Drip Moldings for a 1995, 96, 97, not sure about 1998 Eagle Talon or Mitsubishi, above is the link to get them NEW!!! I just received a set, left & right side for my 95 Talon, they are NEW!!! Amayama Trading is in Japan. Both sides cost me $208.00 with shipping. Shipping alone was $45.00. I know that's a bit salty but how bad do you want them? I got them in 4 days!!!

 

[dsmvenge]

Well Nek I will see how true this is. I just contacted them for a set

 

[bigdnno98]

$208? I think i'll just plasti dip mine. Unless I can find some decent ones at a junkyard or something. I had the ones on my 335i vinyl wrapped. Came out OK. My buddy plasti dipped his on his 335i and came out pretty awesome.

I got 2 new ones from mitsu 6 months ago

 

[Fayt]

Do you remember the cost of new ones?

So looks like Spyder driver's side (MR155221) is still available, does anyone have a passenger side PN?

Edit: looks like I found my own answer, it appears to be MR155222

For anyone interested in in the process of making replicas as I just finished making a set last week by using the original aluminum framing and molding new rubber to it , is anyone interested in this?

 

[Mello]

Please share. I would be interested.
