ABSTRACT:
An interior trim panel for a motor vehicle has an opening for deployment of an air bag and a discrete air bag door that is attached to the interior trim panel covering the opening. The door includes a relatively rigid retainer that hinges the door to the trim panel so that it opens responsive to deployment of the air bag. An unhinged end of the door is held down by two tether tear straps that break away when the air bag is deployed.
