Abstract: A cover for an airbag apparatus with a lateral line portion of a tear line partitioning regions on a cover main body located near a decorative part. The cover main body part having the tear line is resin-molded using a soft film having a shape corresponding to the decorative part as an insert. The cover main body part is fractured along the tear line when inflation pressure of the airbag is applied thereto, so that a plurality of lid parts corresponding to the regions is formed. Each lid part opens about a connection portion to a remaining part of the cover main body part, which portion serves as a hinge portion. On a backside of the cover main body part, at least a portion of the part corresponding to the decorative part is provided with a bore portion.
