No idea how it happened although I do recall a lens change on a particularly windy day a short while before I noticed the specks. In any case, considering the repair cost vs. new or used camera cost of another GX7, a GX85 or a GX9, I would probably skip the repair. I only paid for the repair because, at the time, it was cheaper than finding a used GX7 plus I had and have some attachment to that camera (made lots of great photos with it and brought it on many trips). But I sure wouldn't have paid the full retail repair cost.

Do you still use that GX7 if I may ask? Problem was one time only?

Yes, once the shop had the sensor stack disassembled and cleaned, the camera has been fine ever since (I think that was 2 or more yrs ago).  I only put the GX7 into semi-retirement this summer when I bought a GX9.
