An extruded metallic housing or retainer for containing and supporting an inflatable airbag behind the dashboard of a vehicle. The curved retainer has ends or legs, adjacent the dashboard, at least one of which is weakened along a narrow transverse area by heat treatment and/or reduced wall thickness. Occupant impact against said leg is cushioned by the bending or flexing of the leg along the weakened area.
