Every vehicle that I have had the windows tinted has come with instructions to not lower the windows for a couple of days after getting the tint installed..

Ho do you handle this with the auto down?

It didn't bother my windows after getting them tinted. I think the tint guys are aware a ton of cars have indexing windows so it is what it is. Luckily I don't drive my Bronco daily but you should be fine with the tint adhesion.

Had the windows tinted on the first bronco and the auto up/down didnt affect the tint at all and the insyaller stated it would be a non-issue. I however, did place blue painter’s tape on the console switches to remind the wife to not touch them. She wouldnt allow me to drill several holes in the console so I could glue sewing needles as a secondary measure and thumbtacks wouldnt stay put with 3m tape 😆.

My guy said he used a little heat at the bottom to speed up the cure. I didn’t have to wait to roll down. Top end ceramic guy so figured he knew

My step brother has installed tint on several Broncos; mainly, as long as they've done some already, I think you should be fine. I think he heats them a little like @steverollin suggested. He also says only get nano-ceramic from a good tint provider (he's in College Station and says the heat factor is huge).

If the tinter placed the bottom edge of the film below the rubber window seal that little drop will not affect it at all. They should make sure that area is cured sufficiently before you ever leave the shop.
