Instrument panel having integrated airbag deployment door

摘要

An instrument panel assembly has an airbag deployment door and a preformed seal member that seals against foam leakage at a retainer member and a rear edge of the door overlaps the retainer and sandwiches the preformed seal member in place to prevent leakage of foamed in place material between the retainer and the door; a connector member holds the seal member in place while providing for clean separation of the door from the retainer to enable the door to separate and swing outwardly from the main body portion of the retainer in response to deployment of the air bag.
