Cobra top hinge plate bolt failure

My trailer closes and latches better, now that 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. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me)
