Broken hatch hinge

[George Braun]

I'm sure it's been covered here before but the forum search isn't great. 2008 Hunter 36. Midship overhead Bomar hatch now has a broken hinge. The base of the hinge has pulled out of the aluminum hatch frame, 2 rivets pulled through Hinge arm was too stiff, too much leverage, and the rivets failed. Anybody have experience with this? Am i going to replace the whole hatch? Would rather not. Hatch still seals with the dogs when in correct place, just hinge is no longer connected.
