Abstract
An air bag cover assembly including an air bag deployment concentrator such as a chute and first and second integrally hinged air bag doors is provided wherein a tear seam is located both inside and outside a channel of the chute. The tear seam interconnects the air bag doors to allow selective air bag deployment through a weakened area formed by the tear seam and portions of the film sheet immediately adjacent the weakened area. The assembly also includes first and second sets of hinges for hingedly connecting the first and second air bag doors, respectively, to a front panel both inside and outside the channel to facilitate pivotal movement of the air bag doors away from the air bag to allow deployment of the air bag through the channel, through the weakened area and through the portions of the film sheet during impact of the vehicle.
