    Ebay and micks garage should have them.

    Quick browse of ebay shows a number of sellers have them.

    You need to check they are right for your car.

    Email the eBay seller just to confirm on your car he might have full set for both back and front.

    If it's for a 5dr liftback the saloon deflectors will fit the front doors but not the rear. The 3dr corolla has longer doors so the liftback/saloon ones won't fit that model at all.

    98 corolla hatchback has longer doors, so needs other wind deflectors than the rest of body versions.

    5dr liftbacks + wagons + saloons have the same front doors' shape compare to one another. :)

    Genuine Toyota ones used to stick on with special double sided tape, however I doubt that they still carry them.
    The replacement ones I got from Micksgarage are the ones that fit into the window channel, G3 is the brand and they seem pretty good for cheapish deflectors much better than the last type I had which were very brittle compared to these ones.
