ABSTRACT:
A structure and a method for installing a vehicle air bag module in a vehicle includes a coupling member, preferably an expansible retainer ring, having a form which can be mechanically changed (e.g. expanded). The air bag module has a coupling device adapted to engage a portion of the vehicle (e.g., the vehicle steering column) and to locate and align the module relative to the portion of the vehicle. The coupling member is then manipulated to engage both the coupling device of the module and the portion of the vehicle to couple the module with the vehicle.
