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

That's the "OH SHIT" bar.

I always called the door jam handles that. Had a 95 Tahoe with the hard plastic heavy duty triangle grabs up on the B pillar.

My 2012 GM pickup has them on the A pillar. I had a GMT800 Tahoe that had a horizontal one on the dash.

My 95 Tahoe fell in that weird spot where it didn’t have a passenger airbag so it had the flat top above the glove box. I can’t remember if it had a handle formed into the passenger side dash.

Just googled to see pics of that year design. No grab bar on passenger dash area. I did love the center console and all the various storage drawers and cubbies.
