I know this might get some differing responses, but you could use some
cellophane wrap (saran wrap or some plastic wrap stuff sold at the grocery store)
to act as a non stick surface, then use your silicone to make a new gasket. The
saran wrap will allow it to come off, as it acts as a barrier to the sealer
(body side). You just remove the saran wrap after the silicone has dried and
you now have a replacement seal. Also add a couple of drops around the screws,
as the water might be trying to enter thru them..

No, just a solid metal panel. There is however rubber plugs that the vinyl
trim attaches to. You might want to check on the condition of those too. I hope
this helps.
