In the Euro, there is a gap between the rubber part and the chrome of the window frame. Pollen from the trees here have started flying everywhere because it has been a very windy day for Sydney... The 5mm long pollen bits are getting into the gap, and I can't get them out without using a pair of tweezers. Anyone know what happens to the pollen if it gets in? Does it drop out the bottom or will a tree grow out of the door of my beloved Euro?

i believe there is/are bleed hose/holes on the bottom of all doors to allow for any water/liquid that has seeped through to flow out.
And any dirt or pollen - in your case - should collect down there somewhere and flow out as well.
Unsure if it will clog the hole/hose up.

Remove your door trim and have a look, if you're too worried. :)

I don't think it is a problem, just a pain in the butt. If you pull off the door trims, you may as well give it some rustproofing in there while you are at it.
