Can anyone tell me which vehicles have fabric wrapped pillars? I'm doing research on airbag deployment and shards

I'm trying to determine which vehicles have fabric wrapped pillars (A,B,C) and what if any relationship there is to pillar airbag deployment, fabric wrap, and/or plastic shards at deployment. Can anyone give me a list of what vehicles have fabric wrapped pillars and/or also the correlating airbag content?

It's hard to say, because so many new vehicles (especially Daimler/Mopar) come with what seems to be plastic that is textured like fabric... or maybe it's fabric impregnated with something to become plasticy... I can't tell.

Is your assumption that the fabric restrains the plastic shards? Have you been in a accident with airbag deployment? I have, and no, wrapping the steering wheel with fabric wouldn't have made a drop of difference.
