The Ground and Power are swapped with the buttons to control Up and Down operation.

This may help:

Another way of saying what rla2005 already said is that to drive the window up one of the wires is hot (I think the red, but I could be wrong) and the other (yellow?) is grounded. Then to drive the window down it's the opposite: the yellow is hot and the red is grounded. The motor mounting is not a part of the electrical circuit.
