Default Window tinting with window indexing?

When windows are tinted, it's standard practice that you don't roll the windows down for a couple of days.

My question is, the C6s have window indexing, which the window slightly rolls down when you open the door, then rolls up for a tight seal when you close the door. Is this going to be a problem when I go to tint my windows?

No problem as long as the tint is below the bottom weather strip. The little bit of movement should have no effect. I had the same concern but it was fine.

The tinter should use a heat gun on the bottom to help dry it as well.

A good window tinter knows how to handle this and is no big deal. It's all in the heat to lock in the film.
