Abstract

To provide a clip for an airbag, the pin member of which can be easily removed from a grommet by a simple operation even in a state in which a garnish is furnished. A clip 1 for an airbag includes: a grommet 10; and a pin member 20. The grommet 10 includes: a supporting hole 12 into which the pin member 20 is inserted from the surface side the back side; and an engaging portion 15 for preventing the pin member 20 from coming out from the supporting hole 12. The pin member 20 includes a pair of sidewalls 22 opposed to each other which are extended from a head portion 21 in the axial direction and inserted into a supporting hole 12 of the grommet 10 and freely, relatively moved in the axial direction with respect to the grommet 10. In a state in which the second engaging portion 26 of each sidewall 22 is engaged with the engaging portion 15 of the grommet 10, when a flexible region 25, which is exposed from the supporting hole 12 onto the surface side of the grommet 10, is deflected, this state of engagement can be released.
