[DML] Roof bracket for T-headliner

I'm in the process of removing/replacing the headliners.
I have one question regarding the T-headliner. After loosening the grey
fabric, I followed the Workshop Manual. It says that you must pull the
headliner forward since there is a bracket holding it up. So far so good.
Now to the real problem - the bracket which is installed on the old
headliner is perfect (same metal (brass?) like the brackets securing the
kneepad/center console)
BUT - the other bracket installed in the glassfibre roof is completely
rusted (I suspect this bracket was made from ordinary steel/iron). There are
signs of old waterleaks too.
So how do you loosen this bracket attached to the glassfibre roof? It is
bolted, but I'm afraid that if I loosen the two bolts, removing the bracket
and replace it, that I won't be able to fasten the bolts and bracket again.
Then I will have a major problem.
My guess is that there is something "up there" inside the glassfibre, (like
a mating "socket") which make sure that the two bolts will stay in place.
If I should draw a comparison, it would be like the license plate lights
installation. They have a hidden bracket of which you can fasten the screws
in. Its inside the rear fascia. If you loose one of these then you are not
able to get the lights fastened on the rear fascia. Im afraid that there is
something inside the glassfibre roof that I may screw up.
I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS!!! WHAT SHALL I DO???
DMC JOE?
