If you can get it out, try and glue it back on .. With a good rubber glue that can stand up to heat and cold ..

thats all I can think of. or call honda and see if they sell that part, but I doubt it. It probably comes with the whole cluster.

looks like your gonna have to ghetto rig it somehow maybe with super glue. or you will have to go buy a whole new guage cluster.

it's next to impossible to get one from the dealer. the parts depeartment just won't sell them because of possible odometer fraud.

As everyone already said, either try and superglue it if possible and if you can live with it, otherwise get a new gauge cluster. If the dealership wont sell it to you, which I doubt since I have heard of other people buying them, then a junkyard most surely will.

The dealer will sell it, but they usually make a note of the mileage and supposedly report to the proper authorities. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
