Default Radio door latch part available?

There's two parts to the latch on the radio door, the spring loaded socket next to the radio and the nub on the door.

You can see it in this picture:



The previous owner of my car broke off the portion that is attached to the door.

Is it possible to obtain the portion attached to the radio door without getting a new radio door? It does not seem to be in the Honda parts manual.

Not seen the "hook" (for want of a better term since the latch is a different part) separately. Isn't it molded into the cover? I admit I only glanced at this when my door was off recently. If not you can salvage the part from a broken door someone has laying around. The latch itself (that mounts to the dashboard) is a separate part.

The silver radio door looked so out of place on my otherwise all black 2006 interior I recently replaced it with the "CR" version in faux carbon fiber. Still a bit on contrast but not so glaring.

I might have a spare door and I can try to pull off the little nub you are indicating, as long as I can find the door. You won't be able to buy that part, just the spring loaded part it goes into.

Probably easier to buy a new door imo and maybe upgrade to the CR one like stated above looks great!

As near as I can tell the nub/hook is part of the outer door shell and pokes thru a hole in the inner shell. I see no indication it's a separate part but the shells are sonic welded together.

New door is about $30. Local hardware store will have magnetic latches that do the same thing.

I've got a spare but I didn't want to push too hard on the little nub as it seems kind of stiff, not sure if it is meant to come out or not, going to ship the entire piece rather than mess with the little part.

You can get a NIB CR or typical radio door cover off ebay all day long for $40.
