ABSTRACT:
An air bag cover assembly includes a plastic cover section, a switch section, a backing section and a set of temporary fasteners for fastening the backing section to the cover section to maintain alignment of sets of holes formed in the cover section, the backing section and the fasteners, which aligned holes provide clearance for a set of permanent fasteners used to secure the air bag cover assembly to an air bag housing assembly. The temporary fasteners preferably take the form of a set of annular members which are integrally formed on a rearwardly extending member of the backing section and which provide a snap-in fastening of the rearwardly extending member to a side panel of the cover section. The rearwardly extending member of the backing section is attached to a back plate of the backing section in a living hinge-like fashion to facilitate deployment of an air bag. The switch section also includes a rearwardly extending member in the form of a pair of spaced mounting strips having holes formed therethrough aligned with the other sets of holes by the annular members which secure the mounting strips between the rearwardly extending member of the backing section and the side panel of the cover section.
