You may laugh, but I drilled out the rivet in mine with a 1/4 in drill, and used a stainless steel 1/4 inch bolt and nut. I tightened it up and ground down the bolt head and the nut so they clear when you close the door and so far it works like a champ. I also ground the nut so it can't back off. I think the rivets are just to weak to last.
