Default Windows...

1)I have noticed on my 98 ls that the factory window tint that is on there will sometimes spot up, any cure to this until i tint my windows?

2)The rear windows have that slant to them when you roll them down fully, any way to make the slant go away and roll all the way down?

1. Not sure about that?

2. Assuming this is a 4 door... I think it supposed to be that way and it doesn't go all the way down for child safety pruposes. So no, you can't roll it all the way down.

What factory window tint? All of the windows, with the exception of the windshield, are slightly tinted green to reject heat. That pigment is in the glass.

You wouldn't happen to be wearing sunglasses when you notice this?

It is most likely residual stress in the glass. Put on a pair of polarized sunglasses and see if the pattern is visible without the AC. Unfortunately, there is nothing easy you can do about it.

I agree with this... and I cant remember what the rear door looks like right now, but another reason on most cars is that the curvature of the rear wheel well wont allow the window to be lowered all the way, it would bottom out on the rearward part of the door that is curved for the wheel.
