ABSTRACT:
A plastic molded, air bag cover mountable in a snap-on fashion onto a retaining member or rim fixedly secured within an automotive seat is provided. The snap-on air bag cover includes a front cover panel including an outer peripheral portion adapted to overlie an air bag container and a close-out ring sewn to an outer fabric of the seat. Resilient clip members extend from the outer peripheral portion toward the retaining member. Each clip member has an extending snap-on groove defined therein adapted to cooperate with the retaining member for affixing the air bag cover to the automotive seat. The clip members are connected to the outer peripheral portion such that the 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 automotive seat. The retaining member may be a retaining portion of the air bag container or a retaining portion of the close-out ring which prevents tampering of the air bag container within the seat.
