How are the rope cluthes secured?

I want to replace the Spinlock mainsheet cleat-thing on the cabin top because it sucks and won't hold the line for long. In Texas parlance, we'd say "it ain't worth a horse's patoot!" How is all the hardward secured? I originally though these these would be through-bolted, but there's no way to get at the backs of anything without removing the headliner, which would be a huge job. Are all of these things just screwed and glued?
Additionally, any suggestions on what to secure it with? I'm contemplating just another Garhhauer rope clutch, though that may be a little restritive. Perhaps a big cam-cleat would be better.
