Question Front Passenger Window Motor/Regulator Replacement: Help Please.

Alright fellas, I am totally new to posting on forums for car help, and if there is a better place for this topic please let me know, but here is the situation:

89 Cherokee Pioneer, the front passenger window has a cable-driven power window that is grinding and slipping and struggling like it has been since i got it a year ago, and has not finally gotten stuck. I am going to replace the whole motor/regulator set-up in the door to hopefully fix the problem entirely. Unfortunately, i have a few problems, or at least questions.

1. My window only has 1 big stud through it whereas all the replacements i am seeing have multiple, for example: https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-741-76...ndow+regulator or http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk.../55000660.html

2. The Motor is not held on with bolts, but rivets, now i can probably drill out the rivets and just put bolts in instead, but I'm not sure that the replacements available have the right spacing between them, the aforementioned amazon example's seem far too close together to fit my door panel, and the AutoParts Store one doesn't look like it has any at all!.

LONG STORY SHORT, where can i find a replacement to fit my window, with proper mounting points for both the motor to the door, and the regulator to the window? Perhaps also it is me who is totally wrong, and those examples would work and i just dont realize it, if that is the case please let me know!

Thanks everybody, right now im in AZ and i tell you what, in this heat a non functioning window is killer.
