The base of the A post is a favourite area for rot to be bodged with ill-fitting plates and camouflaged with filler! Where the A post joins the sill is one of the more structurally important parts of the body. Apart from taking the weight of the door, they keep the basic shape of the body and prevent scuttle shake. But this one is honest, so you know what you're buying.
