Default replace radio antenna

The radio antenna got broken off on my 92 Accord DX. In the past the factory one was replaced with an aftermarket one, I guess the aftermarket one was good enough function-wise. But as I recall when I installed the aftermarket one (years ago), it didn't really fit just perfectly and as nice where it protrudes through the rear body as the factory one. When I look at some of the online Honda parts vendors for the price and availability of an OEM replacement, it seems all I see are the motorized electric antennas for my vehicle. But my vehicle just has the regular manual antenna, always has. And I'm not wanting an electric antenna either; just manual is fine. There are no junkyards here so the idea of getting a salvaged one at least locally is not an option I have.

Would anyone happen to know the OEM Honda part number for the regular manual antenna for my car? Also, I might try the classifieds via the forum here and see if anybody's got an original factory one available for sale for a decent price. Any comments/advice/help appreciated.

You might be able to find a mount to allow use of following:

or I used something like this but it was designated as compatible w/ Accord, which it proved to be. I could not find a match for what I used, but it is similar to following; a short black rubber covered antenna. Not great radio reception but screws right off to leave male stub.

good luck

Thanks TexasHonda for those options, which I'll consider.

Actually those two options I see are for "roof mount" whereas my antenna is mounted on the rear driver side, over the rear fender area. I'm looking more for just a stock type replacement.

Thanks redbull-1. I went to some of the online honda parts outfits but could see only the electric operated ones; I suppose I wasn't searching properly or something. Anyway, with the part number you provided (thanks again) it looks like I could obtain a brand new manual one for 30-35 bucks including freight. Unless I can eventually come up with somebody that has a used one for cheap, parting out their vehicle.
