If the existing hole is in good shape and you're worried about cracking the surrounding gel, just drill the hole accordingly per the screw size. If you put new rivet types in those existing holes, they'll just loosen up again and be worse than now.

Just my .02 on snaps. :cool:

Another trick is to use a counter sink bit and chamfer the edge of the hole

a little dab of 3M "5200" to keep it from backing out.
