Abstract: The air bag module door comprises a face portion to provide closure to an opening in an interior trim structure of a vehicle through which an air bag is deployable, the face portion having an upper surface, a lower surface and a peripheral surface between the upper and lower surfaces. The module door has at least a portion of the peripheral surface supported by an underlying portion of the interior trim structure, and at least one first flexible leg joined at a first end to the face portion and joinable at a second end to a corresponding mounting section of the module unit. The flexible leg permits the face portion to be positioned about the air bag deployment opening as the module unit is secured to the vehicle. The flexible leg becomes tensioned as the module door is fixed in position relative to the air bag deployment opening.
