ABSTRACT:
A trim piece construction for an air bag installation in which a scrim sheet is bonded onto the inside of the trim piece at the air bag location, and having one or more unbonded sections folded onto one or more air bag canister sides and attached thereto. The scrim sheet overlaps a deployment door panel and is bonded to surrounding regions to restrain relative movement by attachment to the canister. Fragmentation of the door panel is reduced by bonding of the sheet to the door panel. The door panel hinge is held in position to avoid windshield impact as the door panel hinges open when the air bag deploys.
