Abstract

In an airbag cover having an ornament, mounting legs of the ornament are inserted individually into mounting holes formed in a door portion of the airbag cover and are bent at first bent portions near the opening of the mounting holes on the rear side of the door. The leading end portions of the mounting legs are bent at second bent portions arranged near the leading ends of the mounting legs, on the rear side of the door. The portions of the mounting legs near their leading ends which are bent at the second bent portions are covered by melting and solidifying cover portions having compatibility with the material forming the airbag cover. The vicinities of the leading ends of the mounting leg portions are covered with the cover portions as to be restrained from being extracted in the general direction of the axis of the portion of the mounting leg between the first bent portion and the second bent portion.
