A couple used well nuts or molly bolts. This attachment is more secure, especially when no rafters are available. Can the styrofoam insulation behind the plywood inhibit or degrade this attachment method?
Never tried. What - I'm afraid - may happen is that after you've fastened it and the rubber had forced its way into the foam, the foam remains under pressure and will give in some more, with time. So it might need more tightening later.
You might be correct, my roof did not have a styrofoam backer, it had regular insulation behind the plywood roof.
I did check my bolts at the beginning of every season when I checked my roof, and did snug them if needed.
