    Hi  sounds to me that the rivet has lost its head simple to fix New rivet by dealer or yourself

    Pop rivets are the easiest way of dealing with this. The broken rivets should be drilled out with a drill the exact size of the rivet (they are usually in imperial sizes and close equivalents are available in Machine Mart). When the holes are clear insert the rivet on a gun and pull the trigger until the rod snaps. Job done.
