If you are talking about the ends of the arms at the bottom on the Rola bike carrier I have only ever seen a screw in that location. But it is possible that there is a rivet and, if so, you would have to drill it out and then replace it with a screw after you have reinstalled all of the replacement parts.

I checked the Rola carrier we have in our demo area and it has screws and not rivets.
