  • Patent number: 8727373
    Abstract: In a curtain shield airbag mounting structure for mounting a curtain shield airbag to a side upper portion of a vehicle body, the curtain shield airbag includes an airbag main body and a resin case which holds the airbag main body. A base end portion of a folded-back portion of the airbag main body is disposed to oppose a boundary portion between a rear pillar garnish and a ceiling member, or in the vicinity thereof. A guide wall portion is provided at a rear end portion of the resin guide case. The guide wall portion opposes a rear end side of a base end portion of the folded-back portion and prevents the folded-back portion from colliding with the rear pillar garnish when the folded-back portion opens while pushing out a part of the ceiling member.
