A windshield carrier for supporting and transporting glass panels such as curved windshields for automobiles and the like. The two elongated sides of a body frame are covered with a medium hard rubber base and each side includes a spaced row of upright dowels. Each dowel has a sponge rubber sleeve and a medium hard rubber cap. The spacing between adjacent dowels is sufficient to supportively receive a windshield having the greatest curvature expected to be encountered. At least a portion of the lower edge of the windshield rests on the base and a portion of its side rests against one of the sleeves to prevent breaking, scratching and slipping of the windshield. A sponge rubber pad may be inserted between the opposite side of the supported windshield and the adjacent dowel to further secure and protect the windshield. The body frame includes openings on at least one side for receiving the tines of a fork lift for positioning the carrier in a first direction and similar apparatus or, in the alternative, wheels at the ends thereof for positioning in a transverse direction so that the carrier can be positioned for loading and unloading from either the sides or the ends of the carrier.
