If glass is UV repellent, why do you get a tan through a window?

I just saw the new video by It’s Okay To Be Smart (https://youtu.be/FnDP1sjKGfU) and got confused when he said that glass is opaque to the UV light. If it is in fact UV light repellent, why are you still able to get tanned when exposed to the sunlight for example through a car side window?

UVA and UVB rays. Also, depending on Auto glass, some aren’t the same standard as others. My glass is both. My glasses stay normal. But when I get out, the side by the door is half dark.

It’s annoying.
