Bestop Problem

Anybody else have this happen with their Bestop? If yes, what did you do to fix it?

 

Pull out the pin and replace with bolt and Nut. Use a nylanut for added security.

 

Drilled it out and put in a stainless 1/4 x 1 1/2 bolt with a stainless nut with nylon insert Need to cut off the excess bolt, but it got dark on me.

 

Easy peasy.

I bout my Bestop used and all the rivets were trashed -



My fix -





IIRC, they are m5x30 machine screws with nylock nuts on them. The nylock lets you snug them but with out over tightening.

 

Mine rusted and I replaced with stainless steel, I think #10 bolts. I emailed Bestop they should be using SS bolts/nuts; they said they would review my request. That was about three years ago. I doubt anything changed.

 

NICE!! I like the rubber caps!
