sills and arches mainly, check your arches are actually metal and not a bodge filler job

check the boot as well, they tend to rot there, mine did, check it from underneath though as you couldnt see mine from looking through the boot, only from underneath and the top strut mounts have a habit of going every 6months or so, they're shocking
