<p>A seamless passenger side inflatable restraint system for a motor vehicle includes an instrument panel (26,226,326) having a deployment opening (28,228,328) and a deployment door (42,142,242,342) integral with the instrument panel (26) and closing the deployment opening (28,228,328). The seamless passenger side inflatable restraint system also includes a side inflatable restraint module (32) disposed within the instrument panel (26,226,326) and aligned with the deployment opening (28,228,328). The seamless passenger side inflatable restraint system further includes a door reinforcement (50) connected to the deployment door (42) and operatively connected to the instrument panel (26) to rotate the deployment door (42) and retain the deployment door (42) to the instrument panel (26) after inflation of an air bag of the side inflatable restraint module. <IMAGE></p> |
