The rigid portion comprises a channel having an internally generally flat central portion and legs extending convergently from edges of the central portion and terminating in reversely curved, divergent edge portions providing confronting oppositely curved surfaces spaced from the central portion. The soft portion comprises deformable gripping pads formed integrally by co-extrusion on said confronting surfaces and providing confronting, deformable gripping surfaces for conformably gripping therebetween, with surface-to-surface contact, exterior parallel surfaces of a glass sheet or the like adjacent the edge of the sheet with the latter receivable in confronting relationship to the internally generally flat central portion of the protector.
