ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an assembly structure of an airbag case that is capable of adjustably assembling an airbag case to an instrument panel considering assembly tolerance. The structure comprises an airbag case for accommodating an airbag and an inflator supplying a high-pressure gas to the airbag when a collision occurs, brackets formed at the airbag case and attached to a cowl cross member by means of bolts, and pins formed at the airbag case. The pins are inserted into pinholes formed at an instrument panel, respectively, for fixing the airbag case to the instrument panel. Around the pinholes are formed cut lines so that the pins are movable when assembly tolerance between the pins and the corresponding pinholes is created. With the assembly structure of the airbag case according to the present invention, coupling positions between brackets of the airbag case and the cowl cross member exactly correspond to each other by simply moving the airbag case when the brackets are attached to the cowl cross member by means of bolts, whereby poor assembly due to tolerance is prevented.
