ABSTRACT:
An exterior deployed air bag system or protective system is disclosed for an automotive vehicle. Air bag assemblies are assembled to the roof below the access openings. The access openings are normally covered by a closure element. In the event of a potential rollover incident, an air bag may be deployed from the air bag assembly through the access opening in a weld seam area and expand when inflated outboard of the roof or side assembly of the vehicle.
