An interior trim panel has an air bag cover for supporting an air bag canister and closing an opening in the interior trim panel. The air bag cover is openable when an air bag is deployed from the cannister. The air bag cover has a deployment door panel, an attachment structure and a hinge structure. The deployment door panel has concealable and exposable sides. The attachment structure, which has hinged and bendable bracket portions, is integrally connected to the concealable side of the deployment door. The hinge structure has first and second hinged portions separated and connected by a tear seam. The hinge structure is integrally connected to the concealable side of the deployment door and attached to the interior trim panel. When the air bag deploys, the tear seam separates and the bendable bracket portion bends, thus allowing the air bag to deploy through the opening in the interior trim panel.
