The common places for rust are right behind the front wheel, right infront of the rear wheel, and the bottom of the door. This is due to the amount of plastic there which traps and holds the dirt and also doesn't allow the rust to be seen until it is too late. To check the front, you can feel up under the molding piece at the front. The rest you just have to look for. My red 93 SSE has been eaten alive by rust from it'* like in Upstate NY.

If you're talking about the forward, lowermost corner of the non-moving front window, I have the same issue....
