I have a factory roof rack. I just took it off and when I went to put it back on I noticed the 'Well Nuts' in the roof were in very rough shape (actually I also accidentially pushed one through). In any case - a quick call to the volvo dealer got me 8 new nuts at $2.36 CDN a piece. I pulled out the old ones from outside the car (needle nose pliers and the screw helped) and put in teh 8 new ones and voila. A simple easy fix. I highly reccommend this.

For additional information - on my car the well nuts are 1/4 s well nuts. This is a generic size and doesn't even have to come from Volvo although at $20 for teh fix it wasn't worth it for me to shop around.

Good Luck - It was a very easy fix. Even the nut I pushed through I was able to fish out by removing a small piece of trim at the rear door roof liner.
