Roof airbags and methods for installation of the roof airbags in vehicles are provided. The roof airbags include a deployable airbag configured to automatically inflate in response to detection of a sensed event and to cover portions of an interior side of a vehicle upon being inflated, a continuous mounting tab extending from and along the deployable airbag that includes first and second mounting holes configured to receive first and second fasteners for securing the continuous mounting tab to a frame of the vehicle at first and second positions, respectively, and a reinforcement member disposed on the continuous mounting tab that is configured to prevent alignment of the first mounting hole and/or the second mounting hole with the first position and/or the second position, respectively, on the frame in response to the deployable airbag being twisted.
