A vehicle trim piece assembly for an interior of a vehicle includes a mount and a trim piece coupled to the mount. The trim piece has an inboard surface and an outboard surface, at least one projection extending from the outboard surface in a first direction to an outer surface, and a guard extending from the outboard surface in the first direction to a location beyond the outer surface. The projection is received within the at least one opening to secure the trim piece to the mount. In use, an airbag tether engages the guard which directs the tether over the projection so that the tether does not become snagged on the projection.

The pin and the post extend through the slot-grommet base member and the attachment member. The snap grommet is removably coupled to the post and includes a snap-grommet base member and a connecting member that are attached to each other such that the second floor is positioned therebetween. The pin and the post extend at least partially through the snap-grommet base member and the connecting member.

A seat for a vehicle includes a seat base, a seat back, a pair seat anchors extending from lateral sides of the seat back, a pair of upper and lower side covers, and a pair of flexible wrap members. The upper covers and the lower covers are positioned about the lateral sides above and below the anchors, thereby providing an access space above and below each anchor. Each flexible wrap member is non-removably attached at a first end to the seat proximate a rear side of the seat back and is configured to extend around the respective upper and lower side covers from the rear side to a front side of the seat back so as to cover the access space and extend about the respective seat anchor while substantially conforming to an outer perimeter shape of the respective upper and lower side covers.
