So, after wheeling I tore the endcaps off, seems pretty common. I think it's ugly as **** with them off, so I replaced them and "reinforced" them. When they break again, all I have to do is replace rivets, simple.






Just a simple nylon push rivet from Lowe's along with a butterfly bolt thing the employee suggested. Works great! Couldn't be happier, really. I kind of like the touch of silver.

What do you all think?

 

Creative fix for a common problem. I like.

 

Wow, that's brilliant. I'm going to Lowes tomorrow.

 

Gracias
