If you take the Banebots 550 motor and look to adapt it to the window motor gearbox I think you will solve your problem. FIRST take the window motor off--by removing 3 screws. On the end of the window motor is a plastic driver--slowly remove it.Look at the window motor shaft, there is 2 flats back to back.
Now take the 550 motor and mask/tape up all the openings. With a belt sander carefully sand the 550 shaft to match the window motor shaft. Note you will have to shorten the shaft slightly. Next make an adapter plate out of 1/8 alum bar stk. The banebots will bolt to the adapter plate and then bolt the adapter plate to the window motor gearbox. Worth a try?

I wonder if that counts as modifying the window motor, and is therefore against the rules?
