Dust inside doors?

I bought a 2004 6.0 CC 4x4 about 10 days ago and just today noticed that when I shut the doors with the windows down, a puff of dust comes out of the window slit. Turns out that the dealership I bought it from is near a huge interstate construction site (it actually cut off the back of their lot). The dealer received the truck back in April, so I'm sure the dust is from the truck being on their lot all summer.

The dealer cleaned the truck up pretty well before I took delivery, but obvioulsy could not get all the dust out of every crevice and crack. I'm wondering if there may be dust and grit inside the window motors, tracks, etc, but I don't know if it's worth worrying about. Should I blow out the doors or something, or would that be pointless?

BTW, the truck only had 37 miles on it when I first test drove it, so I don't think there's much dirt in the engine filters yet, though I really havent looked. Anything other things I should be concerned about?
