Rust at the threshold and fender edge

Hello, today I found rust on the threshold and would like advice on how to work it up. I knocked off, no hole seems to be there. (Mercedes 20 years old) Actually I removed the fender to rust the entire edge. The sheet edge will not work permanently, but who has had good experience with it. Had 2 times with sanding, rust converter and paint always so 2 years success. Thank you!
