Question Window Motor Help

My driver's side window motor is starting to fail. Does anyone know where to get a less expensive replacement? Are all window motors the same?

I got one at Autozone for $50 bucks and it has a lifetime warranty. Brand is "Parts Perfect" by Siemens. Part # MM1-42014. What's expensive is the install, which is $300+ at a dealership and about $130 anywhere else. Or you can just install it yourself, heres a link to an installation guide http://shbox.com/page/windowmotor.html

Do it yourself...it's not that hard at all. I think I had mine completely done in about 2 hrs and that was taking my time. Follow a write-up and you'll be fine.
