Abstract: A fastener for an inner panel of a motor vehicle has a proximal fastening foot for connection to the inner panel and a distal retaining clip for the captive fastening in a retaining opening of a vehicle body reinforcement. A retaining ramp, which is movable in the direction of an opening plane of the retaining opening of the vehicle body reinforcement, is provided between the proximal fastening foot and the distal retaining clip to retain the fastener in the retaining opening. It is thus possible to pull the fastener as a whole somewhat out of the retaining opening, in order to form an opening space for unfolding an airbag between the inner panel and the vehicle body reinforcement.

Abstract: A motor vehicle is provided with a passenger cell having an A-pillar, which is arranged laterally of a windshield of the vehicle, and includes, but is not limited to bracing connected with the A-pillar, and the A-pillar and the bracing are connected and spaced from each other with a sidewall part of the passenger cell, and on a side facing the passenger interior a covering part is arranged which is connected with the A-pillar. An airbag is provided within the A-pillar and mounted between the A-pillar and the covering part and extends forward to beyond the contact region of the bracing on the A-pillar. The covering part covers the airbag, and with the bracing a further covering part is connected and the two covering parts are detachably connected with each other.
