Need help identifying a part
I was having problems with my 3rd row power seats. We thought it was the switch, so my husband pulled the switches out to test the wires, but the bezel (i think that's what it is called) broke while taking the switches out. I'm trying to replace this piece, but can't seem to find it anywhere. This is the 2 switches that sit next to the 3rd row seats (under the window) that lower the seats up and down.
I'm wondering if anyone knows 1) the name of the part, or 2) where to find a diagram that would list the parts?

it's the power seat bezel
try googling your year + rear power seat switch bezel or rear power seat trim ring

I doubt a new piece is still available anymore. So you're best bet is to find one in a salvage yard somewhere. Just use a putty knife to release the retaining clips so you can remove it without damaging it.

Mike's right - finding a new one might be tough.
Ebay or car-part.com
or...just a thin line of clear silicon caulk and glue it back on? Silicon is removable if you need to take it apart in the future.

It's called a bezel or in your case a switch bezel and for the diagram we need to know make, model, year of the vehicle.

Thanks everyone for your help!
the vehicle is a 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition.
I'll have to try some salvage yards then.

Remove the bezel and look at the back to see if it lists any numbers.

Any numbers found on parts after 1956 are either casting or ID engineering numbers, they are
not part numbers.
Casting numbers are foundry marks, cannot be cross referenced to Ford part numbers.
Master Cross Reference Catalogs are required to cross ID engineering numbers to Ford part numbers.
