Is the car LHD or RHD?
You mean the actual steel guide rails or the aluminium covers?

We call them glass jaws or guide jaws. Not difficult to find and buy (someone may have it here, Mercedes, SLS, Niemoeller).

The important part is their installation. You are a Full Member - please visit Technical Manual and check the instruction for guide jaws installation. You may need several other items, plastic inserts, orange shims (replacements are black), set screws to do the job.

Did you check inside the bottom of the door?  I found mine in there.

There are two different ones.
big one fits to the back and small one fits to front.
Which one are you looking for?

Nothing particular. They just fall off. It takes some effort to put them back on. Someone could put them aside for later fixing...

Also they could be stuck at the bottom of the window channel inside the door.
Bit of felt cloth and glue to put them back on.
