aluminum rivets fail and don't hold up, they aren't worth using, I replaced them with good quality ss rivets and they have lasted 3 years so far and still solid as a rock, not one has loosened or has popped on me so they have worked great.
screws are just like rivets, weather they last or hold depends on the type and what they are made of as well as to how they are installed.
good luck with it.
