3m double sided molding tape would probably be your best bet, that stuff is extremely strong if applied in the correct way.

I'd recommend 3M VHB tape, we use it at work and it's the strongest tape I've ever seen.

i believe that's what my blazer's trim pieces were held on with. judging by the 3 hours it took to remove completely, i'm thinking it's a safe bet!

FWIW, I drilled holes in my roof for a new rack and after leaving the headliner off for a week or so of really heavy rain, I saw no leakage. Plus, the holes allowed me to put some metal brackets inside as well as bolt it down for a stronger attachment.
However, if you're doing it more for looks instead of function, the 3M tape might be a better choice. It should be plenty strong enough to hold down the rack but I'd be nervous if you ever attached anything heavy to it. Plus you could remove it if you didn't like it.
