ABSTRACT:
A method of preparing an air bag module for final process positioning includes the step of providing an air bag module, the air bag module having unformed locating features for guiding the air bag module into a mountable position on a vehicle component. The method next includes the step of shaping the locating features to a predetermined size. The method may also include the step of providing a vehicle support, such as a steering wheel, with unformed locating features for guiding the air bag module into a mountable position on the vehicle support. The method may further include shaping the unformed locating features of the vehicle support to a predetermined size. The method ensures that the air bag module will consistently fit with the vehicle support and reduce an accumulation of dimensional tolerances in the components of the air bag module and vehicle support.
