By far the most vulnerable areas for wood rot are the door rockers (the pieces which go under the doors each side) and adjoining sections of the frame. The inner sill covers are padded with horsehair which absorbs moisture and will guarantee the lower sections will rot once the protection afforded by the Cuprisol expires after around 15 years. Anything you can do to get protection into this area is a good idea. If nothing is done, after about 25 years you can expect to be met with a sight like this: https://sites.google.com/site/morganatica/bodywork-and-chassis/wood-repair
