A clip for attaching a curtain-shield airbag to a body panel of a vehicle comprises a bushing and a pin. The bushing has a flange with a leg extending therefrom. A bore extends through the flange and into the leg for receiving the pin. Outer surfaces of the leg have engagement pieces with shoulders for coupling the bushing to edge regions of a body panel hole into which the leg is inserted. The pin and the bushing are capable of being coupled in a provisionally fixed condition or a permanently fixed condition. When the pin is partially inserted into the bore, the engagement pieces are permitted to flex inwardly of the bore, but when the pin is fully inserted, such inward flexing is prevented. The flange has a wall that provides a partition between the main airbag unit and the entrance hole of the bore in the flange.

A structure of arranging an vehicle occupant protecting apparatus for an automotive vehicle, which can prevent a pillar garnish from scattering when an air bag installed in a front pillar portion is expanded, is provided. An air bag is housed within a space formed by a front pillar main body and a pillar garnish in a front pillar portion When the air bag expands, the pillar garnish is pressed by an expanding pressure of the air bag so that an opening for expanding the air bag is formed between the front pillar main body and the pillar garnish and the air bag expands into a vehicle cabin through the opening. Since a non-expanding portion is formed at the air bag and a hinge portion is formed at the pillar garnish the expanding pressure applied to the pillar garnish when the air bag expand is low, so that the pillar garnish can be easily opened through the hinge portion
