I know there has been numerous post on the topic of attaching roof rack tracks including this one :

Since replacing a roof screw/hex bolt and seeing just how thin the roof stringers are, it made me think about other ways or other hardware to attach roof rack tracks either Yakima or Thule tracks.
Yakama includes Plusnut in their 54'' kit. Based on this post, http://www.tacomawor...html#post333589 it seems like plusnuts can be used for FWC applications as well. I still need to confirm the width and length of plusnuts.
Roof screws are still the easiest way to attack roof rack tracks.

Has anyone ever used plusnuts?
I've used that sort of thing but not where being waterproof was necessary. They are not designed to be waterproof and even with sealing a risk. All the various parts on one will work against the other parts to break the sealing.
