Problem is....
I really thought I replaced the torx screws, but being up there to wax the other day I noticed i had not in fact put them back in place. Now I'm worried that after 4-5 snow events and some rain, I've got water in between my roof panel and headliner. Anybody know if the holes go all the way through? If so, do I just wait for a week of sun and heat to bring out the moisture, or would I have to drop the headliner? Just looking to avoid a rust issue.

I think those endcaps were more like $10 or $15
I believe the water would leak through and/or you would hear a sloshing noise if it was trapped up there. I think you're fine if you haven't noticed any leaking through the headliner already just put the bolts back in. I used some black silicone to ensure mine wouldn't leak.
