The inserts are brass. I had mine replaced (long story involving an overhead door and a Thule roof box) and they are designed to distort and swell just once to lock into the holes in the doorframes. You cannot reverse the process, the old ones have to be ground off to replace them with new ones. The inserts are distorted just the once by inserting a bolt into the threads and turnign just so far that the barrel of the insert swells to tightly fit in the hole.
For te price of a new rack from Thule (if they direct market that part as they make it for SAAB) or SAAB is pretty reasonable and so very neat that I recommend against cobbling up any substitute. The factory rack is the best rack design ever, from anyone for any car.
