Boom, $95 for the correct regulator without the motor. Is it possible to remove the motor from that regulator you have? Does it look like you can swap motors?

Just pop over to an autoparts store and see if you can get a quick bit for that torx. Alot of those aftermarket regulators have riveted in motors though that you have to drill out which makes it a pain, in which case it wouldn't be worth it.
