An adjustable top sheet retainer mounted at the upper corners of a sheet transporter has movement along a first reciprocating path generally parallel to the sheet receiving surface to accommodate various heights of glass sheets and movement along a second reciprocating path normal to move toward and away from the sheet receiving surface to accommodate various glass thicknesses and to maintain the sheets toward the sheet receiving surface. The transporter further includes an elongated sheet support member onto which is mounted a generally U-shaped member to increase the sheet supporting area of the sheet support member.
