Has anyone used this replacement motor from AutoZone? If so, did you modify it a bit. The one I bought from them is a Siemens brand. Their application chart says it is the correct motor. It looked correct when I compared them at the counter. After installing, I aquired a noise, like a binding. After removing and checking I found out the new gear is about 1/8" larger in diameter (see picture). It looks like I might be able to file off the mounting hole index and set the motor further away from the window gear. Would not need a lot and the screw holes in the motor mount bracket are fairly large. They both have the same number of teeth.
Just wandering if anyone has run into this.
1998 F150

Thanks in advance
