ABSTRACT:
An airbag module cover having downwardly extending sidewalls is mounted in the base of an airbag housing. The base has downwardly extending peripheral legs thereon having inner and outer walls forming a generally U- or V-shaped integral groove at the lower extremity thereof. The legs have locking tabs positioned above the grooves which tabs are adapted to protrude into or through the sidewalls of the cover. When the sidewalls of the cover are locked in the grooves of the legs, the inner and outer walls of the legs provide lateral support for the sidewalls for preventing separation of the cover sidewalls from the housing during airbag deployment.
