Mine did the same thing when I replaced it. I just took the 2 wires out of the motor plug and swapped them. Worked correctly after this.
The interesting thing is I never replaced the motor on mine only the regulator part. The cables must be wrapped different on the replacement part than on the factory part.
Don't change the wires at the switch. Pull the plug off the motor, it should have 2 wires. With a small screwdriver you can remove the wire/connector from the plastic shell and reverse their position. This will change the direction the motor turns when the switch is pressed.
