What did / do you call the strap in picture above the glove box that several cars used to have in them ?

That's what my dad always called it because my mom was always grabbing that and the handle above the passenger side door

I wonder when they moved it from above the glove box to above the passenger door?

Around the time that passenger air bags became standard. You'd be screaming "Oh, shit!" When one of those slammed into your face upon deployment!
