It is very likely NOT grit but the way DeTomaso attached the 'fuzzies' to the 
sills- with tiny sheet metal screws that back out, or, when fuzzies get old, 
the clearance they generate decreases. One of the more common defects you see 
in a Pantera is a line of dots or a vertical scratch going up the drivers side 
window. Recommendation: take the central fuzzy-screw out; this doesn't affect 
the vibration-isolation the fuzzy does, and may save your glass. These dots 
or gouges are usually deep enough so they cannot be polished out; glass 
replacement is the only "fix". good luck- J dEryke
