ABSTRACT:
A cover assembly (40) includes a deployment door (60) which covers a deployment opening (26) in an air bag module (10). A retainer assembly (70) connected with the deployment door (60) has an engaged condition blocking movement of the deployment door from a closed position to an open position. The retainer assembly (70) is moved to a disengaged condition when the deployment door (60) is opened by the inflating air bag (22). When it is in the disengaged condition, the retainer assembly (70) can not be returned to the engaged condition, and the deployment door (60) can not be returned to the closed position.
