Abstract
A vehicle trim piece assembly for an interior of a vehicle includes a mount and a trim piece coupled to the mount. The trim piece has an inboard surface and an outboard surface, at least one projection extending from the outboard surface in a first direction to an outer surface, and a guard extending from the outboard surface in the first direction to a location beyond the outer surface. The projection is received within the at least one opening to secure the trim piece to the mount. In use, an airbag tether engages the guard which directs the tether over the projection so that the tether does not become snagged on the projection.
