Sorry to hear about your ordering mistake, MWG ...
I was in a hurry that very night I posted the above hints & links as I went on vacation ...
and thus forgot to explicitly mention the german background (i.e. LHD) in most of my postings here.
On the other hand, chances are there will be enough mates looking for this "spare" kit of yours as the problem seems to be widespread and not connected to just the passenger's side.
Not sure, if you can blame the weather/climate or the engineer/manufacturer for this issue of early used up guides & wires ... as I see it, lots of individual parameters (conciseness of assembly, frequency of use, jerking it up & down instead of a smooth running etc.) can as well affect the operating life.
greets ... Klaus
