I just wanted to let everyone know that I ended up replacing my regulator and motor today. It wasn't very difficult at all. I think the most difficult thing out of the whole task was putting the door panel back on. That thing was a headache. It wasn't too bad though, it took me a total of about 45 minutes.

If someone else is attempting to do this, remember this one thing, when you're done with installing the regulator, and you put the door panel back on, roll the window down so that you can put the door panel handle screw in. It took me forever to figure that out.
