I had the same problem with mine a while back. The previous owner had tints, Lexus dealer removed them when they put the car on the lot and must have damaged the antenna in the process. The problem went away when I had the windows tinted again.
Check the antenna (which is built into the rear screen, if you didn't know) is not damaged and make sure the inside of the glass is clean. If you see a break in the antenna then it can be fixed fairly cheaply. I'll have a look for the product and post a link.
