Default Window regulator

As I was rolling into post this morning, I rolled down my window, and it went down in less than a second. I was thinking I was super tired and kinda missed it rolling down, or something was wrong. Tried to roll up my window. Yep, something was wrong. So after a quick search on here, I found that DTN had the same issue and pre-symptoms and that Tiburonmoo had done an incredible DIY on how to fix it.



Now my only problem is getting a window regulator. There's not many junkyards around here and I don't think any of them have Tiburons (looked awhile back), and I probably don't want to get a used part either, considering the issues they have. But I really don't want to drive around with my window down for the rest of the week (pretty good chance we'll be getting some rain). Any options on getting it here sooner or finding one locally? After a quick search, I think Advance Auto is selling them for like $200 which is way too expensive. Any other ideas?

You can hold the window up with tape temporarily. Horizontal strips, many of them. Ugly, but keeps the rain out. You may have to go into the door do free the glass from the mechanism.
