Abstract
An air bag assembly includes an air bag module subassembly for installation in an air bag housing having a housing opening through which an air bag deploys. The air bag module subassembly includes a subassembly retainer which captures and holds an inflator and an air bag retainer in position relative to the housing and enables facile installation of the air bag module subassembly into the housing via the housing opening such that the subassembly retainer is restrained by the housing to prevent release of the air bag retainer.
