Replace scratched, cracked, chipped or missing right-hand door glass with this factory-style reproduction. The window is manufactured from tempered safety glass with the correct shape and curvature for the second-generation F-body passenger door.

Important 1970 Fitment Note
OER specifies FD4705 for the second-design 1970 door-glass configuration. The catalog describes this as the late-production design associated with production beginning around January 1971.
Early-production 1970 vehicles must be inspected before ordering. Compare the replacement glass, attachment locations and window-guidance system with the original components.
Some retailers simplify the listed application to 1971-1981 because of this production-design distinction.
Important Glass-Option Requirements
- Fits the right-hand passenger side only
- Designed for factory-style tinted-glass applications
- Features a light-green Soft-Ray-style tint
- Does not match clear, non-tinted door glass
- Verify the glass color in natural daylight
- Compare the tint with the vehicle’s remaining glass
- Confirm the 1970 first- or second-design configuration
- Designed for second-generation Camaro and Firebird coupe doors
- Sold as one passenger-side window
Soft-Ray Light-Green Tint
FD4705 is manufactured with a light-green tint commonly described as Soft-Ray-style glass.
Tinted automotive glass can appear nearly clear under some lighting conditions. The green coloration is usually easier to identify by:
- Viewing the glass edge in natural daylight
- Holding white paper behind the window
- Comparing it with known clear glass
- Checking the windshield, driver-side window and quarter glass
- Looking through multiple layers of the glass near an edge
This window should be used when the vehicle requires the tinted passenger-side configuration.
Matching Driver-Side Glass
The corresponding tinted driver-side window is OER #FD4706.
For a coordinated tinted pair, use:
- FD4706: Left-hand driver-side tinted door glass
- FD4705: Right-hand passenger-side tinted door glass
Replacing both sides together may provide a more consistent tint and overall appearance, especially when the remaining driver-side glass is scratched, damaged or an incorrect clear replacement.
Clear Versus Tinted Door Glass
Second-generation Camaro and Firebird door glass was produced in clear and tinted configurations.
The available OER applications are:
- FD4704: Clear driver-side glass
- FD4703: Clear passenger-side glass
- FD4706: Tinted driver-side glass
- FD4705: Tinted passenger-side glass
Do not order solely by vehicle year or air-conditioning status. Confirm the glass option presently installed in the vehicle because factory equipment, production changes and previous repairs can affect the application.
Mixing clear and tinted door glass can create a noticeable difference between the driver and passenger sides.

Restoration Uses
OER #FD4705 is suitable for:
- Replacing scratched passenger-side door glass
- Replacing cracked, chipped or broken glass

- Correcting mismatched clear and tinted door glass

Tempered Safety-Glass Construction
The window is manufactured from tempered automotive safety glass.
Tempered glass is heat-treated to increase strength. When severely damaged, it is designed to break into smaller pieces instead of the large, sharp sections typically produced by untreated glass.
Any cracked, deeply chipped or structurally damaged door glass should be replaced.
Installation and Adjustment Notes
Correct installation requires careful adjustment of the passenger-side regulator, tracks, rollers, guides, stops and weatherstripping.
Before completing installation:
- Compare FD4705 with the original passenger-side window.
- Confirm that the light-green tint matches the remaining vehicle glass.
- Verify the 1970 door-glass design when applicable.
- Inspect the passenger-side regulator and tracks.
- Check the rollers, guides and stops for wear or damage.
- Inspect the window felts and weatherstripping.
- Protect the painted door and interior trim.
- Install the glass without forcing it against the tracks or door structure.
- Adjust the glass for even contact with the weatherstripping.
- Check alignment with the windshield pillar and quarter glass.
- Raise and lower the window repeatedly.
- Confirm that the glass does not bind, scrape or contact the door structure.
- Check for excessive wind noise and water intrusion after final adjustment.
Professional installation is recommended. Incorrect adjustment can cause binding, scratches, leaks, wind noise or glass breakage.
Shipping and Inspection
Door glass requires oversized protective packaging. OER and its retailers classify FD4705 as a double-oversize shipment.
Inspect the shipping carton and glass immediately upon delivery. Report visible carton damage to the carrier and retain all packaging until the window has been fully inspected.
Do not schedule installation until the glass has arrived and been confirmed undamaged.
Retailer package dimensions and shipping weight should not be interpreted as the physical dimensions or weight of the glass itself.
Care and Cleaning
Clean the window with 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 deteriorated felt can scratch the new glass as it moves.
