ABSTRACT:
A door assembly (40) for an air bag module (30) includes a door panel (42) supported for pivotal movement on a frame (46, 48) fixed to a vehicle (12). A body of foam material (50) includes a first portion (198) supported on the door panel (42) and a second portion (200, 202) supported on the frame (46, 48), interconnected by a frangible portion (206). A seamless skin (60) includes a first portion (214) covering the first foam portion (198) and a second portion (212) covering the second foam portion (200, 202). The first foam portion (198) moves with the door panel (42) when the deploying air bag (34) pivots the door panel open. The second foam portion (200, 202) remains on the frame (46, 48). The second portion (212) of the skin (60) peels away from the second foam portion (200, 202), without tearing, when the door panel (42) pivots open.
