A few of the rivets through the playfield plastics (attaching metal brackets) in my funhouse are loose, so the plastics flop about and move during gameplay

Is there a good way of tightening these pls ? Superglue would do it if need be, but I try to avoid using the stuff at all costs

What tool is used to get them in in the first place ? Presumably this could be used to tighten them

Thanks

A rivet press would be used to fit them in the first place so if you have access to one you could re-rivet them. If not then you could look at removing the rivets and using a small nut and bolt instead?
 
Brilliant. And thank you for the kind offers of help, as I am seeing @chris b this weekend I will see how it is done.
