Re factory racks, Bill wrote that it "...appeared that maybe the nut was somehow inserted through the roof from the outside and expanded in place in a manner similar to that of a drywall (sheetrock) anchor."

Not sure I wanted to hear that, either, Bill.  This sounds very similar to Yak's track mounting system --- I think they call them "Plus-nuts" or something close to that.  This is the technique used when you don't want to pull the headliner.  They've also had a better system for mounting tracks in the past which does require pulling the liner --- big fender washers and stuff.  Sounds a lot better.
