thats the forward edge of the lower sliding door track.  ( good huh! LOL)
that flange thats rusted just holds the door gasket/rubber.   clean it up
really good with sandpaper, wire brush/dremel and treat is with rust converter,
then paint it with a rust inhibiting paint like rustoleum or if you have some,
POR15.   if theres any pits, fill them with fiberglass filler or even JB weld
(since its so small) before topcoat.
