A cover is provided for attachement on the housing to close the opening. The cover has a plurality of spaced apart first tangs which engage the housing to effect attachment of the cover on the housing. The cover also has a plurality of spaced apart second tangs which project away from the housing. A plurality of openings are provided in the panel to register with the plurality of second tangs and receive the second tangs in snap fitting engagement with the openings so that the motor drive unit is attached to the door panel. The first tangs may be attached to the housing by either staking the housing to the tangs or by the tangs having a snap fitting engagement with the housing. The second tangs are stamped integrally with the cover and include a retorsely bent leg adapted to yieldably engage the opening in the panel and carrying a lock tab which engages with the the face of the panel to assure the attachment of the motor unit on the door panel against removal therefrom.
