Still fixing the brackets on the underside of the panel, though it is taking so much time I am not sure whether I should have just looked for another panel.
Appears that there was a foam piece around the weld nut on the bracket and also some non-hardening sealant on the lower part it bolts to.
Looks in my case like it succeeded in keeping water from getting through for a long while since the brackets are in much worse shape than the body under it, which I would normally consider a good thing.
I will probably do similar to you as far as finding some kind of non-hardening caulk to try to imitate what the factory did somewhat.
