ABSTRACT:
An air bag cover assembly includes a cover having a plurality of mounting posts extending downwardly from the cover and a gasket attached to the mounting posts. The air bag cover assembly further includes a reaction plate captured between the cover and the gasket and a membrane horn switch captured between the reaction plate and the cover. Thus, attachment of the gasket to the mounting posts securely attaches the reaction plate and the membrane horn switch to the cover during air bag deployment. Preferably, the mounting posts and the gaskets are integrally fused together by heat welding.
