Here are the pics! The first 3 are the captive nuts I found hidden behind my headliner in my HDJ81. I simply pressed my finger against the headliner, felt for the holes, and then used an exacto knife to slice a small vertical slit across the holes. Then threaded the bolts in to be sure they fit - which they did, perfectly. 
I should also mention that I had a quick panic attack when I noticed the non USA "cargo bars" across the rear windows... but luckily, it fit perfectly with no modifications. The lower nut of the bracket fit JUST below the bars.
PS - that's not rust in the last picture, that's my collection of autumn leaves and needles
