Loose awning bracket

[reserves]

My awning is loose at the rear, where circled in the photo.

I can’t figure out what these bolts are, are the rivets or should they do up?

I’ve tried with a small allen key but they just spin.

The two at the bottom which you can’t see in the photo are loose too.

I think they are rivets.

I think they are rivets.

That’s my thinking too.

Odd they’ve come loose.

The only way to tighten them up is to remove bracket and squash them tight in a vice or using some form of compression tool/clamp.

Thanks.

Was thinking I’d drill them out and re-rivet

Yes, that's another way. I would still remove the bracket to work on though.

100% agree. Give it all a good clean too
