Default Window tint question

I'd like to add ceramic tint to my side windows and back glass on my 2004 CE vert. My concern is that the side windows are spotty in in the bight sun, which I believe are "quench marks" on the glass. Looks like a leopard skin whether you have polarized sunglasses on or not. Will tinting the windows reduce this effect, or make it worse? Part of me wants to just go for it because Texas summers are hot and I want the benefit of having the windows a bit darker for sun protection and comfort. Anyone dealt with this? Decide to replace your window glass first? Replacing the side windows seems like a hassle, and then there's the whole issue with weatherstripping. Trying to keep the cost down.

What say you, Forum folks?

All auto glass has quench marks. Even replacement glass.
