sand in car seals

ever since i bought the car, which was almost 1 yr ago, i have noticed that sand keeps seeping out of the cracks of the car, most noticeable around the trunk seals. I keep my car very clean and have cleaned the sand out about 6 or 7 times, but each time, the sand keeps coming back. It's not the area i live in because i live near seattle and sand is not an issue here. when i bought the car from the dealership, i noticed sand around the seals, in the gas door, inside the hood, basically everywhere. and i thought it was just a bad detail job. I know this isnt that serious, but does anyone else have this problem/issue?

heh. the sand probably got there when the car fell off the boat from japan...sand is from the ocean floor when they scooped the car out of the water. just kidding. seriously, the sand got there from the boat ride from canada where they're made now. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
