ABSTRACT:
An air bag cover assembly includes a support that has an opening for deployment of an air bag and a door that is connected to the support at one end for movement between a closed position closing the opening in the support and an open position for deployment of the air bag. The outer surface of the support and the door are bonded to an elastomeric foam cushion formed in an underlying relationship to a polymeric skin that forms a covering of the cover assembly. When the air bag is deployed, it impacts an impingement member that cooperates with a reaction member so that edge tabs on one of the members rotate laterally in the elastomeric foam cushion and assist in tearing the elastomeric foam cushion and polymeric skin apart to release the air bag door.
