I recently REMOVED my OE rack from my 84 (want a shaved appearance) and the only mounting points were 12 small holes about 1/4-3/8" in size drilled straight into the sheetmetal where the vertical supports were.
Then the screws were held in these holes by things called "wellnuts." They're basically nuts with a thick rubber surround so as to keep it held in place in the sheetmetal.
The removal of the headliner is really easy once you know that the fabric/rubber just pulls off.
That gives you access to the underside of the roof.
Hope that makes sence...
Good Luck
Oliver

Find the thread called "Cursed Headliner" if you want some really good pics of removal:)
