Abstract
A tether protection panel configured to help protect a tether for tailor deployment of an airbag includes a first portion configured to be secured to an outer surface of the airbag and to at least partially extend along an inflator opening of the airbag, and a second portion configured to be folded over to at least partially overlie the first portion and form a first fold. The first portion is configured to be positioned on a first side of an inflator flange of the inflator and the second portion is configured to be positioned on a second side of the inflator flange. The first fold is configured to be positioned adjacent an edge of the inflator flange and extend from the first side of the inflator flange to the second side of the inflator flange. The first fold is configured to be positioned between the inflator flange and the tether so that the fold blocks inflation fluid from damaging the tether.
