About American Windshield Repair Systems
American Windshield Repair Systems has manufactured windshield repair bridges, resins, and curing tools for more than two decades, operating as a subsidiary of Apex Auto Glass Inc. out of Washington State, with an additional facility in Maricopa, Arizona. The company builds its own repair bridges and resin formulations rather than reselling generic imports, and has shipped systems to customers across the United States, Canada, and a number of international markets, including a wholesale division that supplies auto glass technicians and shops in addition to DIY customers.
Its product line spans entry-level kits through professional-grade systems, alongside a standalone range of windshield repair bridges, resin formulations graded for different damage types, and curing lights. Among those, our reviews highlighted the brand's rechargeable UV pen curing light, which the company tests specifically against its own resin and pit filler rather than marketing a general-purpose craft or nail-curing light for windshield work.

American Windshield Repair Systems products we rated highly
American Windshield Repair Systems Rechargeable UV Pen Curing Light
Purpose-built and resin-tested for windshield work rather than repurposed from a nail or craft curing light, with the maker certifying cure performance against its own resin and pit filler. It cures on demand regardless of sunlight or weather, removing the single biggest limitation of sunlight-cure kits, and recharges for repeat use instead of being a single-application accessory. It's one of our top picks for drivers in low-sun climates who want a repair kit that works year-round.
