07 RX350 Rain Sensing Wipers not working after windshield replacement
Had my windshield replaced a few weeks ago. My wife said the tech worked on the rain sensing wiper thing below the mirroe for a 1/2 hour. Sure enough, they no longer work properly. Has anyone else had this problem and what did it take to fix it?
The symptoms are that the wiper makes a single pass when turned onto auto, then a few seconds later they go at high speed, even when there is no rain.

Local shop, not the dealer. They are coming out to look at the car tomorrow, but since they are also the ones that screwed it up, I don't have a ton of confidence.
Had one replaced by the dealer before and there were no issues.

It is the sensor. Was the sensor installed and installed properly?

We had the same problem on my wifes rx. We bought it used and it had a new winshield so we thought it was a bonus, couple weeks after it rained so I tried the auto wipers and no go. We took it into the dealer for a warranty claim and found out the new windshield was missing some "gel" and was quoted $75 for parts and labor. This was all from the lexus dealer so I hope he wasn't bs'ing, I'm booked in for next week so I'll let you guys know

That sucks, Lexus wants to bother to charge you $75? Instead of going the distance and try to impress you.

HUD in the car? Can you explain a HUD?

Heads up display. It's basically a digital speedometer that gets displayed on your windshield below eye level so you can see your speed without looking down at your tach. HUD is not available on the rx that I know of and it was about a $1500 on the x5. It looked pretty cool from the passenger seat but hard to say how helpful it is, I'd buy it if it was an option tho lol
