Abstract
A modular cover for an air bag comprises a rigid inner layer, a soft outer layer, and a tear line along which the modular cover is torn. The tear line includes a raised portion extending from the inner layer into the outer layer, and a recessed portion formed in the inner surface of the modular cover. The modular cover includes a convexed portion extending from the inner layer into the outer layer and located adjacent to the tear line so as to prevent the outer layer from suffering from depressions.
