I'm wondering if the UV blocker that's incorporate in automobile glass
prevents Vitamin D production.

depends what range is blocked by the UV blocker and how really the blocker
is good.
range 290nm-315 nm initiates the photoproduction of vitamin D
like with the sunglasses, some producers claim that they block UV radiation
in fact they might only block small percentage of the UV radiation
so there is no way to tell if your UV blocker blocks the 290nm-315 nm range
without testing

It will reduce it since only 3-4% of the UV will go through.
It's easy and economical to take a 2,000 IU vitamin D tablet.
