SIDE PILLAR ASSEMBLIES WITH MULTI-SURFACE RETENTION STRUCTURES FOR SIDE AIRBAGS A vehicle includes a pillar garnish (52) mounted at a side pillar assembly of the vehicle. The pillar garnish has an upper end portion, a roof head lining (34) with an outer portion (42) that extends along the upper end portion of the pillar garnish, and an airbag jump bracket (60) fixedly located between a pillar body and the roof head lining. The airbag jump bracket includes a first portion (62) extending in a vehicle height direction and a second portion (64) extending outwardly from the first portion in a vehicle width direction. The second portion supports an airbag body (16) that guides the airbag body toward an occupant compartment of the vehicle during an airbag deployment event. The airbag jump bracket (60) further includes an outwardly turned flange portion (66) that extends outwardly in the vehicle width direction to underhang the second portion of the airbag jump bracket. The outwardly turned flange portion (66) has an underside (67) and terminates at an end (68) located beneath the second portion (64) of the airbag jump bracket. The pillar garnish includes an airbag jump bracket engaging feature (72) including a tower engaging portion (82) and a ledge engaging portion (80). The ledge engaging portion (80) includes a ledge engaging surface (81) that engages the outwardly turned flange portion during an airbag deployment event in the vehicle height direction and the tower engaging portion (82) includes a tower engaging surface (83) that engages the outwardly turned flange portion during an airbag deployment event in a vehicle width direction. ,1I / / \\\\\ N C'\] N( N .~-y ~ N
