Important 1970 Fitment Note
OER specifies FD4706 for the second-design 1970 door-glass configuration. Other retailers list the standard application as 1971-1981.
Early-production 1970 vehicles must be inspected before ordering. Compare the glass shape, attachment locations and window-guidance arrangement with the original driver-side window.
Important Glass-Option Requirements
- Fits the left-hand driver side
- Designed for light-green-tinted applications
- Commonly described as Soft-Ray-style glass
- Does not match clear, non-tinted door glass
- Confirm the tint in natural daylight
- Compare the new glass with the windshield, quarter glass and passenger window
- Confirm the 1970 first- or second-design configuration
- Does not fit the right-hand passenger side
- Sold as one driver-side window
Soft-Ray Light-Green Tint
The subtle green tint is designed to reproduce the appearance of factory-style tinted automotive glass without creating the dark appearance associated with aftermarket window film.
The tint is contained within the glass rather than supplied as a separate applied film.
Before ordering, inspect the edge of the original glass in natural daylight. Factory-style tinted glass typically displays a noticeable light-green tone when compared directly with clear glass.
Clear Versus Tinted Door Glass
Second-generation Camaro and Firebird door glass is available in clear and light-green-tinted configurations.
Related OER applications include:
- FD4703: Clear passenger-side glass
- FD4704: Clear driver-side glass
- FD4705: Light-green-tinted passenger-side glass
- FD4706: Light-green-tinted driver-side glass
Use FD4706 when replacing the left-hand window in a vehicle equipped with light-green-tinted glass. The matching passenger-side tinted glass is OER #FD4705.
No Date Code
OER #FD4706 is supplied without a date code.
This makes it suitable for general restoration, repair and driver-quality applications. Customers building a concours vehicle that requires a specific production date or original manufacturer marking should verify whether custom date-coded glass is required.

What This Listing Includes
This listing includes:
- One OER #FD4706 light-green-tinted driver-side door window glass
The matching passenger-side glass, window regulator, tracks, rollers, guides, stops, weatherstripping and window felts are sold separately.
Tempered Safety-Glass Construction
FD4706 is manufactured from tempered automotive glass.
Tempered glass is heat-treated to improve its strength. If severely damaged, it is designed to break into smaller pieces instead of the large, sharp sections typically produced by ordinary untreated glass.
Any cracked, chipped or structurally damaged automotive glass should be replaced.
Installation and Adjustment Notes
Correct installation requires careful alignment of the regulator, tracks, guides, rollers, stops and weatherstripping.
Before completing installation:
- Compare the replacement with the original driver-side glass.
- Verify that the light-green tint matches the vehicle’s remaining windows.
- Confirm the 1970 door-glass design when applicable.
- Inspect the regulator, tracks, guides and rollers.
- Protect the painted door and interior trim.
- Position the glass without forcing it against the tracks.
- Adjust it for even weatherstrip contact.
- Check alignment with the windshield pillar and quarter glass.
- Raise and lower the window repeatedly.
- Confirm that the glass does not bind or contact the door structure.
- Check for wind noise and water intrusion after final adjustment.
Professional installation is recommended. Incorrect adjustment can cause binding, scratched glass, leaks, excessive wind noise or breakage.
Shipping and Inspection
This door glass requires oversized protective packaging.
Inspect the carton and glass immediately upon delivery. Report visible carton damage to the carrier and retain all packaging until the glass has been fully inspected.
Do not schedule installation until the window has arrived and been confirmed undamaged.
Care and Cleaning
Clean the window with an automotive glass cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth.
Avoid abrasive pads, metal scrapers and harsh chemicals. Keep the window felts and guides clean because trapped debris or damaged felt can scratch the new glass during operation.
