ABSTRACT:
A retainer ring having expandable sides for attaching a passenger side air bag to a air bag module canister. The retainer ring accommodates slight variations in the canister thus permitting the air bag cushion to be securely fastened to the canister without the formation of gaps between the air bag cushion and the canister. This reduces gas leakage from the canister during deployment of the air bag cushion. A self-locking mechanism is also provided to permit assembly of the retainer ring without the need for fasteners or special tools.
