ABSTRACT:
An air bag module in a vehicle includes a housing and an inflatable air bag having a mouth portion defining an air bag opening, the mouth portion including opposing axially extending side edges. The module further includes an air bag retainer for securing the air bag to the housing. The retainer includes a pair of axially elongated retainer bars each including an axially elongated main body portion and an axially elongated thin tail portion extending radially outward from the main body portion. The side edges of the air bag are each secured to a respective thin tail portion of the retainer bars such that movement of the air bag relative the retainer bars is prevented during assembly and during air bag inflation.
