New window working in reverse order

I just installed a new regulator and motor that I purchased on Amazon. it works, but the problem is that it goes down when I flip the switch up, and goes up when I flip the switch down. It the beginning I thought I had the connector backwards, but is a one-way-in connector. Any ideas if I can fix it or how to fix it without sending it back? I have a road trip in 3 days.

Comments welcome.

That common problem with the aftermarket window motors. You need to rotate the magnet casing 180 degrees.

Must be on production of the window motor from aftermarkets.

Had no problems with the ones we carry.
