Window regulator on P38 playing up.

Hello All.
This may sound like a dumb question from a new guy... But here goes.

All of the pictures of Regulator mechanisms I'm seeing on eBay and the websites show the motor and drive shafts but not the whopping great cog. And on my P38 that's what's missing teeth.

Am I missing the point?

Hi folks,window problem with my P38 i want to get sorted,
Drivers door window regulator has a couple of missing teeth, they are in the position of being at motor when window is fully closed,message ctr says window not set,tried resetting procedure,didnt work. window goes down and up fine until it gets to fully closed then it makes a banging noise, what i am wondering is, will replacing the regulator sort the problem or has something else gone that didnt stop window at closed position which resulted in chewed teeth, dont want to replace regulator if first time i close window i damage it.

For those where parts like this are silly money, clean the grease off, give it a lick with a grinding disc and weld in new teeth,, file down and using a modelling clay or similar pattern off of decent teet grind and file the tooth profile in. You obviously need to file the thing flat too
