Here is what it looks like from the other side. As you can see there are three bolts that hold the motor in place. All need to be tight or the motor gear will will slip eventually destroying your regulator

One thing they leave out is putting a bolt in the regulator so it doesn't try to shoot throuth the door or your eye.

Also make sure the three bolts you see holding that plate over the gear are tight as well.
