Welcome to Club Lexus, jcwray.

A good place to start might be with Safelite: https://www.safelite.com/

You can price out a replacement windshield there as prices will vary by location. Be sure to include that you have a rain sensors.

Agreed. I had mine replaced by Safelite (under insurance by GEICO). They have replacement glass - not "Lexus" that is as good as the Lexus brand and considerably less expensive. In fact, Lexus dealer told me that they recommend that to their clients. I was very pleased with the Safelite service: they come to your house and are very efficient and clean.

I've had 3 rain sensing windshield replace before. All 3 times done by safelite via insurance windshield insurance $ 100 deductible. The factory glass cost $1600 each plus labor. I have had it done at my work and at a safelite location. I have to say at the safelite location was done a bit better because there are 2 guys lifting your glass and put in on right the first time versus on site service only by one guy and after he places the glass on most of the time the tech has to move the glass around a bit to fit it right and has a chance for problems later on.

I have Safelite glass in for the last 3 years. My deductible is $250, the glass was $335, so I paid cash for it. Didn't want to have a comprehensive insurance claim on my record over $85 bucks. BTW, I have rain-sensing wipers, everything works great.

A local dealer wanted $250 for the glass, $35 for the rain sensor. Paid cash. No reason to submit to insurance. Esp with a $500 deductible.

I am not sure that my message is in the context with this topic, but I want to share my experience and make you aware of what can happen when you get a windshield replacement service in GTA.
In May this year, I had to look for someone in GTA who could replace my Lexus RX330 windshield. I googled for the auto glass service and got to A1 Auto Glass web site that looked attractive and professional. I requested a quote and got a call from Auto Glass guy very soon. Unfortunately, I do not remember that guy name. His quote, $300, was very good and reasonable, and warranty was good as well. I told guy that my Lexus was equipped with a rain sensor and he promised that glass replacement will be for the Lexus with rain sensor.
When this guy arrived to my location, it appeared that he worked for Continental Mobile. With the help of assistant, the windshield was replaced very quickly and job looked very good and accurate. I got an invoice from him stating a lifetime warranty for the new windshield.
Next day, when it was raining, I got a surprise – rain sensor did not work at all. I gave a call to the guy and he asked me to give him a call to make an appointment next day. That happened several times and every time the guy promised to fix the rain sensor next day but had not shown up. As a result, I have concluded that that person knew that he did not reinstall the rain sensor properly but did not want to fix a problem his work caused.
So, I give you a warning: be careful when you get a windshield replacement service from the Continental Mobile (cmwindshield.com) in GTA, especially when your Lexus is equipped with the rain sensor.

Thanks for that. I Googled it but only got that gangster game "Grand Theft Auto". The OP had his location as OR which I thought was the state of Oregon.
