Antenna. Either for TPMS or keyless entry start/stop (KESSY) systems. You'll find several of those around the vehicle if you start digging.

Default Not really

The best answer seems to be that they are used during production to locate water ingress.

^^ Better, more informed answer.

If they are "rusty", I would definitely check for water ingress. Is the carpet wet?
