Default Window Motor/Regulator?

Hello there,
Does anyone know this specific part number, or if the part even exists? I have a 2008 Saturn Aura XR, and the driver side front window stopped functioning properly. After going to the mechanic, I was told that I need a motor and a regulator, but he doesn't know where to find the part. I have tried searching online and the only motor/regulator combos I can find are for every window besides the driver seat front. Called around to all Autozones and Oreilleys and was told that I may need to look for something else, because in their systems they show all windows besides the driver seat front. Any help solving this issue, would be greatly appreciated. I have the damn thing tapped up right now, and worried about rain damage. Thank you very much for your time.

Upon deeper investigation, there are three listings that claim compatibility with the 2008 to 2012 Malibu. Amazon claims a matches .
However, the window position says front, and not front driver side for two of them. No idea if this is front driver or front passenger.

The third listing offers a front driver for 2008 Malibu. It offers front driver with front passenger as a pair which Amazon says fits.

However if you select just the front driver, Amazon says it does not fit.

Something is not right with the vehicle compatibility checker.

Screenshots for the third listing below for your convenience

This is the part number but it’s been discontinued via a few GM parts sitesFront Driver Side Window Regulator - GM (15781323)

AC DAelco seems to have it in stock but you might find it for less elsewhere. At least you’ve got the (discontinued) part number. Perhaps give a Chevy dealer a call to get the new part number or if they might have it in stock.

That listing appears to be mis-titled.

It is only the motor. The regulator is not shown and although it may be the correct motor, it is not the entirety of what the OP needs.

Thanks for searching and adding to the information pile.

I did look and find this, otherwise I would not have posted number 2 on this thread.

Not trying to prove you wrong, sir.
I was in search of additional listings, across the web, which included Amazon.

I did in fact see that listing.
Total miss on my part.

There are, in fact, apparently no other alternatives on Amazon or elsewhere other than the one possibility that is contradictory in its listing for the picture I posted above.
