Ironically on my very rusty parts car, the allowance for water to exit the bottom of the door lead to more rot in the top of the rocker panel/sill plate just below it. The window seal across the driver's side glass had failed, allowing water inside the door. That rotted the bottom of the door, allowing the water to pour onto the top of the sill plate area. So that upper rocker area rotted from the top down, mostly only across that top surface. The passenger's side has no rot.This one makes sense for any X, to keep the door sill from rotting out
