I have an 85 245 with a roof rack that I bought from a backyard mechanic. He let me know when I was buying it that he had tried to work on the rack but found that nuts/brackets that the rack bolts screws into fell into the space under the roof. The one corner he started on had to be reattached with sheet metal screws. Instead of relying on the rack I have since picked up a set of Yakima roof racks that clamp on.

Just a warning - you might be in for more work that its worth..... I have never taken off the inside roof covering, so I am not sure what I would find. I probably would visit a junk yard that has lots of Volvos to see what's hidden first.
