Default New Windshield (rain sensor won't work)

Just had my wife's windshield replaced on her RX350 and now the rain sensor won't work. I've heard that there might be a computer reset that has to take place before it works properly.

Wrong forum, But I will try to help.
Was the windshield replaced with Lexus glass or aftermarket? There seem to be problems with "aftermarket glass" and rain sensors.
"IF" this is aftermarket glass I would try a glass sealer like Adam’s Glass Sealant (better than Rainex) before going to the dealer..... Maybe that will help to make the water "bead up" when it hits the glass so the rain sensor can see it.
