A roof rail assembly for a motor vehicle having an open frame vehicle architecture includes a side air curtain fixedly coupled with an elongated hollow sport tube extending along a longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle. The sport tube comprises a two-piece multi-gage tube extending along a longitudinal length of an occupant compartment of the motor vehicle. The side airbag curtain is fixedly coupled with the sport tube, the side airbag curtain having a stowed condition and an inflated condition. An integrated seal carrier is fixedly coupled with the sport tube and extends laterally outboard of the motor vehicle, the integrated seal carrier comprising a removable roof sealing member and a removable door window seal, wherein the removable roof sealing member and a removable door window seal are independent of one another.

A vehicle with a head airbag integrated into the vehicle body, which is covered so as to be visually screened by a headliner that has a headliner opening for a functional component, in particular a reading light, wherein a fastening arrangement is provided on the reverse side of the headliner facing away from a passenger compartment, via which the functional component is secured. At least one shield element is associated with the fastening arrangement and is arranged between the head airbag and the fastening arrangement in a head airbag deployment direction, so that when an airbag deploys, a region of the fastening arrangement having interfering contours is shielded against the deploying head airbag.

An inflator bracket includes an elongate body having a first end and a second end. The elongate body defines an aperture proximate to the first end. A hook extends from the first end. An absorption feature has a proximal end coupled to the elongate body proximate to the aperture. The absorption feature defines a curve between the proximal end and a distal end. The distal end is spaced from the elongate body and the aperture.

A vehicle includes a passenger compartment having a roof structure having a front header, a pair of side headers and a rear header. A headliner is disposed beneath the roof structure. At least one inflatable bladder is disposed along at least one of the front header, the pair of side headers and the rear header. The at least one inflatable bladder is connected to an inflator. A rib structure is disposed adjacent to the at least one inflatable bladder. The inflatable bladder inflates to a maximum height of 12 cm below the at least one of the front header, the pair of side headers and the rear header.

An airbag includes a U-shaped chamber, a head-impact chamber, and an uninflatable panel. The U-shaped chamber has a first side leg, a second side leg, and a top extending from the first side leg to the second side leg. The head-impact chamber is disposed between the first side leg and the second side leg. The uninflatable panel extends from the first leg to the second leg adjacent the head-impact chamber.

A curtain airbag is proposed to improve the deployability of an airbag cushion while simplifying the structure of the curtain airbag by forming a sub-chamber. The curtain airbag includes a main chamber of an airbag cushion secured to an upper end inside a vehicle body to be deployed to a lower end thereof, a first sub-chamber of the airbag cushion deployed above a pillar trim while pushing the vehicle body to move the main chamber towards a center of a vehicle, and a second sub-chamber of the airbag cushion deployed between an end of the pillar trim and the main chamber, thus pushing the main chamber to prevent the main chamber from being caught by the end of the pillar trim.

A curtain airbag module for helping to protect an occupant of a vehicle includes an airbag package including a curtain airbag configured to inflate between a side structure of the vehicle and the vehicle occupant. The airbag package also includes an airbag wrap that packages the curtain airbag in a stored condition and is configured to rupture and release the curtain airbag for deployment in response curtain airbag inflation. The curtain airbag module also includes a deployment ramp including a ramp portion for helping to direct the curtain airbag to deploy inboard of the side structure. The deployment ramp also includes retainer portions, spaced along its length, that are configured for insertion into retainer slots in the airbag wrap to connect the airbag package to the deployment ramp.
