An ejection control mechanism for a rail mount airbag is provided. The ejection control mechanism is comprised of an elongated strap attached to the rearwardmost cell of a side impact airbag. When the cell is inflated, the strap applies a tension to the cell in an upward and rearward direction and thereby assists the airbag in providing complete coverage of the motor vehicle side windows. One embodiment of the present invention is comprised of the strap being attached to the rearwardmost cell of the rail mounted airbag, whereas a second embodiment is comprised of the strap being attached to the rearwardmost cell and the motor vehicle frame.
