A side curtain air bag deflector bracket is provided. A powerful inflator is used that quickly fills a large side curtain air bag. Where an inflator pipe meets the air bag, there is a tendency for the air bag to deflect upwards due to the high volume of air being introduced into the bag in a short period of time. The bracket deflects the side curtain air bag so that, during this type of expansion the air bag can not migrate up into the roof lining structure of the vehicle. The bracket includes a first portion with an arched deflector that deflects the air bag, during expansion, along a path that is close to the surface of the vehicle door. The bracket also includes a second portion that includes a mounting flange and transverse deflector oriented transversely to the arched deflector.
