Dirt & Debris in headlight housing

There is somewhat of a rough fit of the headlight in our SPF GT-40 resulting in dust and sand under the lexan (?) light cover. That kinda stuff tends to keep me up at night, so I found a fix.

Ace Hardware sells a product called Pile Seal, it's an adhesive backed felt like strip. I used 3/16" (W) x 1/4" (T) and applied it to the glass headlight thus making it much more difficult for foreign objects to make their way into the housing.

I've got around 50 mi. on the car since the addition of the Pile Seal and see no signs of intrusion!

I'll attach a photo of the headlight post Pile Seal and one of the nose off the car.
