was at the junkyard today and came across an 89 Cherokee that has a roof rack in perfect condition. My 87 rack was removed by previous owners. Going to swing by and scoop this up but was wondering if anyone knows off hand how its mounted to the actual roof? I noticed some screws on the top rails so that should be easy but curious about the mounting inside the roof? Im guessing ill have to remove the headliner to access any mounting bolts or nuts?

Did the PO weld over the holes? They're called well-nuts.

I think the skid strips (rails in-between) use some kind of double sided tape.

thank you so much, that diagram is very helpful. The previous owner did not weld over the holes, have some daylight peaking through all the holes. but i can ****** the others from the junkyard. Thank you again
