Well nuts actually work very well.

The roof rack on my old Jeep Cherokee was held on with well nuts.  It
was the way the factory installed the roof rack.  It was rated for
several hundred pounds, and I used to strap things down to the rack,
pulling "up" quite hard with my tie down straps.  Never a problem.
