An airbag cover includes a base panel portion, a side panel portion formed, and a cover panel portion. The cover panel portion is moveable relative to the base panel portion between a closed position and an open position. A latch is configured to releasably secure the cover panel portion to the side panel portion in the closed position. The latch is releasable upon the inflation of the cushion, such that the latch functions as a “tear seam” in the airbag cover. The entire airbag cover, including the base panel portion, the side panel portion, and the cover panel portion may be extruded as a single piece of plastic. The latch may provide a snap fit connection between the cover panel portion and the side panel portion.
