I haven't had to get mine replaced down here yet. Might try giving "The Truck Shop" a call and see who they recommend.
Depending on the shape of your moldings and if the glass has been replaced before or not...you may want to order new. I will need to on my next new window.
Report back who you find and how it goes.

OEM = $$$$. Been happy with Pilkington.

My windshield has sensor around the edge, did the Pilkington have that also? Did your rig come with this feature? Is it rain sensor?

I know OEM is costly but I researched this thread, just wanted to be sure that the quietness of the Lexus quality is preserved unless further research warrants otherwise. I will make some calls after the new year to see what else is out there but I am prepared to shell out for OEM.
I'm not sure that the Lexus glass will have as much to do with the quietness as a good install will. Just make sure they are a good shop and do good work. I'm on my 4th or 5th window now. The original moldings just dont go back like they did new any more. So, next window I will need to install all new moldings, and have some rust around the frame repaired. After as many windows as I have had installed, the paint has inevitably gotten some small scratches and such and now I have a couple bad spots of rust at the top of the window.

Sorry, my bad. I'm on the mobile app, and didn't see you had a Lexus. I have LC and an happy with non OEM. Not sure you have a choice...
I put Pilkington glass in my LX 9 months ago and have been very happy.
Yes, they have the rain sensor glass. Cost was $400 from a great independent "mom & pop" shop in Los Angeles that has been doing windshields since forever.

Fellas,
Had my windshield replaced (Bronze) by Safelite today in Miramar. They recommended after 6 hours of completion to leave sunroof slightly opened to relief cabin pressure so I can't tell if there is any leak or not. I have to also remove some tapes after twenty four hours and at that time we will see whether or not there was any leak. It's lifetime warranty.
I did request for Pilkington but they steered me to their in house brand which "exceeded OEM specs" lifetime warranty and yada yada.... Plus new windshield wiper blades all for under $300.00
However, after I left I noticed that my rear view mirror vibrates now ( the vibrating image really bothered me), it didn't before the replacement. I am willing to wait after 24 hours to test for wind leakage and then hoping that the vibration reduces or disappear (though I doubt it).
I checked visually and feeling the mirror and it appeared to be re-installed correctly.
What would cause the vibration? Can't be just because the windshield is new and is in the process of settling in.
Any suggestions?
Many Thanks,
Tim

Hmmm... I have never had an issue with the rearview mirror vibrating in any annoying fashion on any brand of glass and I am on my 5th windshield I think....
Take all the plastic parts off. Inspect them and the little puck the gets glued to the Window. Then reinstall and see if it gets any better.
