Abstract
An interior trim panel for a motor vehicle has an opening for deployment of an air bag and a discrete air bag door that 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 that hinges the door to the trim panel and a covering that includes a frangible flap 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 door has a bracket attached to the retainer that moves the hinge line rearward. The covers of the trim panel and the discrete air bag door retainers may be simultaneously attached to their respective retainers in two variations of a conjoined operation.
