2002 corolla, swap drivers power window motor w/ driver side passenager

I'd like to know if I can swap power window motors from the drivers side and drivers side passenger
I've a toyota corolla le 2002. The drivers side is stuck on the down position and since I rarely have passengers I thought this could be a quick fix until I got the money needed to buy a new Obie.

it doesn't hurt to try. The only reason i could think of that would prevent it from working is that the motor could be bolting from the opposite direction.

Thanks, does anyone here have any instructions / schematics ... Something they can compare the bolt pattern between the 2 installs? To my way of thinking, same side of the car, same bolt. Pattern.. But things seldom are a logical as you'd think,,, like placing the fuses for the power windows behind the steering wheel colum thingiie.

There are threads on how to remove/replace the motors.
I replaced my 2002 rear passenger drivers side window motor with my dead drivers window motor. Same motor, same part number. Easy swap, 1 hour taking your time. Take lots of pics, put them on a laptop or smart phone to remember. Other than than, no biggie.

It is actually a very easy DIY, all you pretty much have to do is unscrew the regulator from the door, which is 4 screws. The Motor is screwed into the regulator with 3 bolts. I believe there are pictures somewhere here in the forum if you need it. But its pretty straight forward. When i first did it, i kind of just looked at how it was pieced together and it looked simple so i just went with it.
