ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat backframe and a foam cushion positioned adjacent the backframe. A trim cover is secured over the foam cushion and includes first and second edge portions sewn together along a seam. A side airbag module is secured to the backframe for airbag deployment through the seam. An airbag guide chute is secured to the side airbag module and includes first and second end portions secured to the first and second edge portions, respectively, of the trim cover. The chute is sufficiently flexible and strong to guide the deploying airbag through the seam, thereby preventing fragmentation of the foam and destruction of the trim cover material.
