Use the search facility to find what other people suggest, helps a lot.

Try GSF, Europarts, Volkspares etc

No idea but they usually tend to have msot parts.

i got one off ebay off a company that derlivers in like two days, was about £50 i think for the whole mechanism.Are your windows stuck down now? That happened to mine i had to whip the doorcard off and ducttape it up.

When you say fell into the door, do you mean you fully wound them down and they won't come back up? Happened to my car recently, literally took me and a friend 15 minutes to whip out the door card, fiddle with the glass and all was fine again, hasnt slowed down or packed up once! Although with polos I doubt you'll be as lucky as I got and probably do need to get replacements. Worth a shot though?
