IMHO the sills don't rust because of the plastic trim, they rust due to blocked drain holes or if the car is left sitting at a slight angle for some time which means the water build up from rainfall never gets a chance to drain off or dry out with the airflow from moving. There's also the issue of people pumping in Waxoyl or such without taking precautions. Never do it in damp weather, only when it's warm and dry and has been so for a number of weeks and always check that the drain holes haven't been clogged by the wax. This time of year is not the time to Waxoyl your sills......

My turbo living up in dreich Scotland, and is an all year daily driver, sports its original sills and trim covers after 28 years and 145k miles.
