A-PILLAR AIRBAG SYSTEM

Systems and methods herein are directed to an interior trim system of a front pillar of a vehicle. The interior trim system can include a panel. The panel can include a user-facing surface and an interior surface located opposite the user-facing surface. The interior surface can define a volume of space to house a curtain air bag in an attached position. The panel can include a boss extending from the interior surface of the panel. The panel can include an aperture extending from the user-facing surface through the boss. The interior trim system can include a shoulder bolt. The shoulder bolt can have a head portion, a flange, a smooth portion, and a threaded portion. The panel can move relative to the shoulder bolt by a threshold distance in a deployed position such that the curtain air bag can deploy through an opening created by movement of the panel.
