Default Neighbor's grass inside my truck

After he has mowed the last 2 times, i have noticed grass all over the dash of my truck. Actually i notice it as soon as i open the doors as it come flying out. Truck is always buttoned up tight, no window cracks or the like. I do start it about 5 minutes before i leave for work for warm up and cool down. I usually have the a/c on 2 but it is set on recirculate and i use remote start. anyone experience this?

it probably builds up like the snow here in the rain channel then when you open the door it blows down and out the door in front of you

That would make sense. But when i say my dash is covered, i mean covered with grass. The coastal bermuda is starting to green up, so hopefully this problem will improve soon. First vehicle I haven't been able to park in the garage (actually it fits with both mirrors pulled in, a spotter and a box of cheap red wine)

Actually,

It's most likely getting there through the cowl induction. There aren't any filters for the cowl on these trucks.

Tell your neighbor to start bagging...lol
Or does he bag and his mower isn't sealed up properly throwing grass all over?

These trucks are sealed up pretty tight. it's possible that when you open the door it creates a suction from the cowl vents through the truck and sucks them into your dash. I couldn't imagine there would be a lot or how that would happen unless you are running the air while he is cutting the grass.
You could always do a camp out in your truck while the neighbor is mowing to figure this mystery out...ahahahahaaa

Did you do anything bad to your neighbor? Maybe he is taking the grass and throwing it inside your truck haha
