Drip rail molding fasteners?

I found one of them being the antenna hole /grommet is not sealed well enough,, I'll have to pull the cowl again and get the seam sealer. but there also seems to be a leak coming in from above the antenna hole when looking up under the dash so it could be the window seal or possibly a leak coming from the drip rail? I planned on resealing the drip rail next spring or summer when it gets warm out.

While i like the stock antenna I'm beginning to think about sealing that hole shut and find an internal antenna, any suggestions??
