Default What is this part? Need help

What is the name of the piece of dash trim into which the fog light / rear hatch switch bezel is seated? As you can see from the picture below, my switch fell out because the small piece of plastic that helps secure the switch bezel to the trim piece broke.

Many thanks!

Unfortunately, that is not a separate piece. It is an integral part of the knee bolster that extends underneath the steering wheel.

Thanks Cybermind. While searching for knee bolsters, I found a repair kit at Corvette Central for $40 that fixes my exact issue (and no glue required JR-01)!
