Abstract: A button bridge system can include a curtain side airbag and a button bridge attached to the curtain side airbag. The button bridge can be attached to the curtain side airbag at various portions of the curtain side airbag such that a lower portion of curtain side airbag can be folded to a predetermined fold length. The lower portion of curtain side airbag and a corresponding portion of the button bridge can be stored in a storage position such that the button bridge is pulled taut when the curtain side airbag is deployed.

Abstract: An interior door trim component for an automotive vehicle. The door trim component includes a main body having an exterior surface for facing the interior of the vehicle and a door pull configured to allow for pulling thereon and closing of the door of the vehicle. The door pull is spaced apart from the main body by a distance that allows the fingers of a vehicle occupant's hand to extend into the area between the door pull and the main body. A light emitting assembly is mounted adjacent to the door pull and is oriented to emitt light in a direction away from the door pull and toward the exterior surface of the main body.

Abstract: A trim panel assembly for an automotive vehicle having a pocket door that is moveable between a reduced width position and an increased width position. The trim panel assembly includes a panel having a recessed portion. A pocket door is mounted over at least a portion of the recessed portion such that the pocket door and the recessed portion define a storage pocket. The pocket door is mounted for translational movement between first and second positions. In the first position, the storage pocket has a first width defined between an outboard side wall and an inboard side wall. In the second position, the width of the storage pocket is increased. This increase in width occurs over the vertical extent of the storage pocket.
