ABSTRACT:
An assembly for mounting an air bag cover in which an insert is formed integrally with the air bag cover so as to extended from the same, the end of the extend portion is bent back on itself to form a folded outer edge, and bolt holes are formed in the extended portion. The cover is mounted on the body of the vehicle by inserting bolts in the bolt holes. This assembly also includes a reinforcement member inserted into the bent portion at a position closer than the bolt holes to the extreme end folded outer edge of the extended portion. Even if the insert cracks at the bolt holes when the air bag cover is opened, the reinforcement member stops the progress of breaking of the insert by contacting the bolts, thereby preventing the cover from coming off and flying.
