A folding rack (10) for holding glass panels, particularly automobile glass panels (93), includes a pair of horizontal, spaced-apart rails (20). Holders (60) for holding glass (93) are connected by hinges (40) to the ends of rails (20) by a horizontal hinge axis (45) and are rotatable between an erect position and a folded position. Right posts (70R) are of length such that in the folded position their upper ends (72R) are near the left hinge axis (45L). In the upright position, bottom ends (71L) of left posts (70L) being disposed to the left of the left hinge axis (45L) such that in the folded position they are higher than in the upright position such that left holder (60L) folds over right holder (60R).
