The back clip on the driver's door switch panel bezel is broken.

I am going thru part number hell. So far I have found 2 numbers but the colors are not Dark Charcoal.

3W7Z-14524-BAE
3W7Z-14524-BAC


Does anyone have the part or part number?

Take the door apart. Find the broken piece. Glue it back on.

No glue in the world will hold a tang onto to a flat surface and allow for the flex needed to get pushed in the mating slot.

Plus I don't want to risk breaking something else on the door removing the whole panel just to see if the tang is floating around in there.

Part has 2 numbers.

3W7T-14A564-B$W where the $ is possibly a C

The mold makers need to be flogged. :) The part is NOT black. I would call it Dark Charcoal like my window sticker describes the interior color.

I fixed four of them, The one on my DD has been on there for 130,000 miles since I fixed it. The clip is always in the door somewhere, sometimes it's underneath the padding on the door panel. Get some two-part plastic epoxy or or there are some super glue is out there that you see a granule filler to help build parts up. The door panel comes off very easily. Two screws at the bottom, one behind the door handle. The one on the outward side. The little plastic cover near the mirror needs to get the popped off. Lift the door panel straight up and it comes out.
 
Curious, one number maybe for the bezel alone and the other for the complete bezel w/ switches. I'd take both to the dealer along with your vin and let them figure it out.
 
There isn't really any tension on that tab when the panel is in place, so I would agree with the others who said to just glue it.

Removing the door panels shouldn't break anything else. I've had the panels off my Marauder, Mary's, and my 2000 GMQ a few times and never broken anything.
