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

783 views

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?

I was always under the impression that you couldn’t. Am I incorrect in this? This would be interesting
