Default Repair missing door jam metal piece

First of all what is it and what does it do?
Second, If this is missing does it indicate something (rot, impact, etc?)
Third, Can I repair it?



Thanks, Mike

I have always felt it was the first design of a water diverter. Due to the area above it can allow water that can leak in...it is an attempt to divert it towards the w/strip and away from the interior.

Your guess is as good as mine on why one or both are missing.

I would guess that you could repair this or even make a new one and install it. I know I could if I had to.

I may have the lower corner of the door jam if you were going to repair the area. Let me know and I will take a look.
