An apparatus (10) includes a retainer structure (80), a reaction structure (28), and an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (14). The retainer structure (80) has a first clamping surface (92). The reaction structure (28) has a second clamping surface (112). The protection device (14) includes a pair of adjacent fabric panels (60, 62) that are clamped between the clamping surfaces (92) and (112). The panels (60, 62) are joined along a seam (68) which is thicker than the panels (60, 62). At least one of the clamping surfaces (92, 112) is discontinuous across the seam (68) to define a gap (114) through which the seam (68) extends. This arrangement provides clearance between the retainer structure (80) and the reaction structure (28) for the thickness of the seam (68).
