I've been in the car restoration business for over 40 years and worked on cars that parts just weren't available, so we make them or repair what we have. I have very seldom found a reproduction part that was close to the quality of the OEM part or a properly repaired OEM part.

It seems like the metal (hole) around the rivet is worn (wallered out? Lol). There’s all kinds of wiggle in them. I’m sure they could be fixed and if it comes down to that I’m not afraid to give it a shot, like mentioned before bushings could be used, but I think these aftermarket hinges are going to work out. I’m definitely not trashing the oe parts
