Airbag modules comprising inflator mounting openings and/or slots. Some embodiments may comprise a cover having an inflator coupled thereto and may further comprise a fastener used to couple the inflator with the housing. A mounting opening may be configured to receive the fastener, wherein the mounting opening is configured to allow material defining the mounting opening to flex during installation of the fastener to reduce a force required to advance the fastener through the mounting opening. The mounting opening may be further configured to resist withdrawal of the fastener after being fully seated in the mounting opening such that a greater amount of force is required to withdraw the fastener from the mounting opening than is required to advance the fastener through the mounting opening.
