ABSTRACT:
An air bag cover assembly is provided. The assembly includes a front panel having inner and outer surfaces and a switch module attached to the inner surface of the front panel. The switch module includes a front plate and a back plate attached to and spaced apart from the front plate to define a switch pocket therebetween and a switch disposed in the switch pocket. The front plate has a plurality of spaced ribs integrally formed at and projecting from an outer surface of the front plate towards the inner surface of the front panel. Distal ends of the ribs are shaped to substantially conform to the inner surface of the front panel so that pressure on the outer surface of the front panel at a switch activation area is transmitted by the ribs to activate the switch.
