Claim:
An automobile airbag door that forms a part of an automobile instrument panel, which is formed by bonding a cover member onto an outer surface of a base member, the airbag door comprising: a door base member that forms a part of the base member; a door cover member that forms a part of the cover member; a tear line formed only in the door base member, wherein, when the door base member is pressed by an airbag being deployed and inflated, the tear line functions as a starting point of tearing action of the door base member; and a bond strength difference generating mechanism, wherein, in a bonded part between the outer surface of the door base member and the door cover member, a band-like zone, which extends along the tear line and includes a part on which the tear line is projected, is defined as a first zone, and a band-like zone, which is on either side of the first zone and extends along the tear line, is defined as a second zone, and wherein the bond strength between the door base member and the door cover member in the first zone is weaker than that in the second zone.
