Default Here is some helpful info when looking for a discontinued Honda/Acura part

In this example we are looking for a sunroof motor for a 1990 Civic Si. If you don't know the part number
Go to http://estore.honda.com/honda/parts/...your-honda.asp and find your part number.
  • Unlike most online Honda parts stores they do not remove items from the catalog when they are discontinued so you can still find the part number.
  • I found part number: 70450-SG0-S01 for the sunroof motor.
Next go to Google and enter the following in the search: site:sonshonda.com 70450-SG0-S01
  • The first part has no spaces and it tells Google to only return results from sonshonda.com Then a single space followed by the part number you are looking for.
  • This is necessary because SonsHonda.com does not provide a way to seach there site by part number.
Click on any of the results.
  • Of course the part will show as discontinued
  • Scroll down just a bit and find the section titled “Product Fitment/Applications”
  • This shows you all the cars that use the exact same part which is very useful information when searching online or in junkyards for your part.
Finally repeat the Google search using Site:sonsAcura.com to find any Acura models that use the same part
