Abstract

The present invention relates to an airbag cover and a method for manufacturing an airbag cover comprising a first layer (1) which is substantially intact in the region of a tear seam for airbag deployment and which borders the space in which the air-bag deploys if the need arises, and at least a second layer (2) which faces the folded airbag, the second layer (2) being attached to the rear side of the first layer (1) to reinforce said first layer (1) and only the second layer (2) having a weakened region (3) to predetermine the run of the tear seam during the deployment of the airbag.
