Not all window regulator mechanism failures are the same; you did not say how or where yours failed.
Most failures happen in one of three areas, 1. motor, 2. gear drive mechanism at motor, 3. plastic window bracket that goes up and down inside metal track
I have had three failures oddly all on the same window!
All three failures were the gear drive mechanism at the motor that moves the cable inside the plastic tube started to slip or pop when the window reached the fully closed position. The window regulator never did fail completely in any of the instances and could still move the window up and down but made the slipping noise when it got fully closed.
I replaced the first failed unit with a new AutoZone unit;
thankfully it has a lifetime warranty! The replacement unit failed within a month and I replaced it with another new unit under warranty. That was over two years ago and it is still working just fine.
If you replace your complete unit, be sure you get the lifetime warranty, that way all it costs you is your time if a failure were to ever occur again.
I can change one in less than 30 minutes start to finish now; a suction cup to hold the window up during the replacement operation is your best friend....

Based on my experience be absolutely sure the clip is fully and evenly (up/down) engage on the regulator ball and run the window up/down say 6 times before putting things back together.
Super advise!!!! That ball & clip is a PITA
