Abstract: A panel with an airbag is provided including a mounting flange portion. The mounting flange portion breaks at a thin wall portion of the mounting flange portion when a door insert is pushed toward the passenger compartment of a vehicle by the inflating pressure of an airbag during airbag deployment. The thin wall portion is formed between a plate portion of the door insert and protrusions formed on the mounting flange portion for engagement with a peripheral edge portion of an opening of the instrument panel insert. After the thin portion of the mounting flange portion breaks, substantially only the plate portion of the door insert is deployed toward the passenger compartment, leaving the mounting flange portion of the door insert at an airbag case side.
