Kind of strange that Honda won't sell you one since it appears to be an individually ordered part according to Majestic Honda. Click on this link and your problems will be solved:

Since you still have the metal clip it looks like you just need the plastic part (number 21 for $1.94)

The parts are brand new and seem to be in stock more than not (and less expensive than what the local dealer would charge)

From what I seem to remember when I purchased some stuff awhile back is that they initially charge a higher shipping then reduce the charge when it ships but it will still be a bit expensive when comparing to the size and weight of this very small plastic piece. I was buying a few items and saved overall (including final shipping charges) with the discounts available compared to the local dealer prices.

The part number listed may not be the same as what your dealer would order although there may be some kind of cross reference.

I looked the (real) part number up somewhere else and just had my local dealer order it for 2.77 no shipping charges.

thanks for your help.
