A safety windshield molding system. The system includes a flexible body including three distinct channels. A first channel is configured to receive and frictionally engage the perimeter edge of a windshield glass. A second channel is configured to receive and frictionally engage an edge of a body of a cabin at a window opening. A third channel is configured to frictionally engage a locking strip, which secures the windshield glass in place. The windshield glass includes a surface area that is greater than a surface area of the window opening, such that the flexible body maintains the windshield glass in a position that is entirely exterior to the cabin. This positioning prevents the windshield glass from being forced into the cabin when an impact force is applied to the windshield glass, thereby protecting the operator seated within the cabin.
