A moveable integrated airbag panel and method of assembly is presented. In the exemplary application, a vehicular expandable airbag is attached to the inside of an A-pillar trim panel along with the inflator to form an integrated airbag panel that is attached as a preassembled unit to the vehicle body structure. On deployment of the airbag, the integrated airbag panel as a unit moves away from the A-pillar structure while a portion of the airbag remains attached to the A-pillar structure to limit movement of the airbag. The moveable integrated airbag panel provides increased coverage and protection of the occupant in the A-pillar area.
