Abstract

A method for the assembly of an airbag generator carrier (11) with an associated airbag (12) consists in first sewing together the gas sack (12) until it is finished apart from a short slit (15) and subsequently checking for the presence of metal parts. Provided no metal parts are found in or on the gas sack (12) the generator carrier (11) is introduced through the short slit (15) into the interior of the gas sack (12), the sewing together of the short slit (15) then takes place subsequently while being monitored by video.
