I have replaced the sheared off aluminum corner rivets with 1/8" steel
rivets. BTW, I can see a slight forward bend in the right side of my
fiberglass top just outboard of the hinge plate.
My metal top Cobra trailer has had a forward bend on both sides for at
least 6 years, probably longer. I also just noticed the pivot holes for
the top are elongated fore and aft. I may add a bushing to them, which
would move the top back 1/8" or more, and make it easier to close.
