<p>An interior trim panel (10) for a motor vehicle has an opening (12) for deployment of an air bag and a discrete air bag door (14) is attached to the interior trim panel for closing the opening and for being opened by an air bag when it is deployed. The door includes a retainer (22) that hinges the door to the trim panel and a covering (24) that includes a frangible flap (30) at an end of the retainer that holds down an end of the door and breaks away when the air bag is deployed. An alternate interior trim panel has another discrete air bag door that includes a bracket attached to the retainer for establishing the location of the hinge line. Another alternate interior trim panel arrangement has an integrated or invisible air bag door that includes a bracket attached to the retainer for establishing the location of the hinge line in an invisible door arrangement.</p> |
