Zusammenfassung:	Apparatus ( 10 ) for helping to protect an occupant ( 28 ) of a vehicle ( 12 ) that has a side structure ( 16 ) and a roof ( 18 ). The apparatus ( 10 ) includes an inflatable occupant protection device ( 14 ) that is inflatable away from the vehicle roof ( 18 ) to a position between the side structure ( 16 ) of the vehicle ( 12 ) and the vehicle occupant ( 28 ). The apparatus ( 10 ) further includes a fill tube ( 22 ) for delivering inflation fluid to the protection device ( 14 ). The protection device ( 14 ) includes an opening ( 104 ) through which the fill tube ( 22 ) extends and a portion ( 106 ) adjacent the opening that forms a friction fit around the fill tube ( 22 ). The friction fit forms an effective seal for preventing inflation fluid leakage through the opening ( 104 ).
