ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) includes a reaction structure (28) configured to support an inflator (12) for an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (14). The apparatus further includes a cover (40) configured to conceal the protection device (14) in a vehicle. The reaction structure (28) has an aperture (86). The cover (40) includes a compressively deflectable mounting flap (42) having an aperture (94) aligned with the aperture (86) in the reaction structure (28). A fastener assembly (54) fastens the mounting flap (42) to the reaction structure (28). The fastener assembly (54) includes a screw-threaded stud (80) extending through the aligned apertures (86, 94) in the mounting flap (42) and the reaction structure (28). A nut (70) is received over the stud (80) in an installed position to retain the mounting flap (42) between the nut (70) and the reaction structure (28). The reaction structure (28) has a rigid stand-off portion (102) projecting at least partially through the aperture (94) in the mounting flap (42). The nut (70) is tightened against the reaction structure (28) at the stand-off portion (102) of the reaction structure (28).
