A bracket (5) for a curtain airbag system (1, Fig. 7) is mounted to a vehicle (3, Fig. 1) interior part above a structural pillar (11, Fig. 3). The bracket (5) includes a body (13) having a first guide surface (15) for guiding deployment of the airbag (7, Fig. 7) to clear a pillar trim element (9, Fig. 8); and a load bearing hooking member (21) for attaching the body (13) to the vehicle, wherein the hooking member (21) hooks into an aperture (27a, Fig. 3) formed in a vehicle structural element, such as a cant-rail (25, Fig. 3); and includes a plastically deformable portion (21d), which deforms on insertion into the aperture (27a). Clips (31a, 31b; Fig. 5) also locate the bracket on the cant-rail. The bracket may be a plastic moulding, and may be fitted without bolts from outside the vehicle during assembly.
