Abstract
An improved retainer rod for a passenger-side airbag is formed of two different plastics having different physical characteristics by a dual durometer extrusion process. The improved retainer rod has a cylindrical main body of a hard rigid plastic which can withstand bag deployment forces and a sheet-like flag of softer flexible plastic which can be sewn to the bag material.
