ABSTRACT:
A snap-on air bag cover for use with an air bag container having a retaining member. The snap-on air bag cover includes a plastic front cover adapted to directly enclose an uninflated air bag. A pair of plastic side panels are connected to opposite sides of the front cover. A resilient clip member extends from each of the side panels, the clip member having an extending snap-on groove defined therein adapted to cooperate with the retaining member for affixing the air bag cover to the air bag container. The pair of side panels are connected to the front cover such that the side panels and resilient clip members are permitted to pivotably travel away from each other in opposite directions allowing the retaining member to enter and abuttingly engage the snap-on groove thereby retaining the air bag cover on the air bag container. A horn switch assembly is disposed in and substantially fills at least one compartment formed at the inner surface of the cover. The switch assembly is slidably and removably secured in a compartment formed by a rear panel which is secured to the inner surface of the cover at upper and lower flanges. One or both of the side panels have slots formed therein so that the switch assembly can be removed from the cover for servicing.
