V-Cube 5 adjustments/repair

[Toquinha1977]

Hey, ran a search, but nothin'...anyway, disassembled the V-Cube 5 to clean it out and one of the centre caps popped off pretty easily, owing to the fact that the screw is no longer tight. But, when I attempted to screw it in, it's actually not getting tighter, which seems to suggest that they're more like rivets than screws. I suspect that this is what's causing it to pop on occasion, but I can't say for sure. Any thoughts?

All of the v-cubes are not adjustable. The "screws" are actually rivets. They just look like screws.

Get a YJ 5x5. Those are adjustable. *prepares for a bunch of VCUBE fanboys that are gonna flame me*

The center caps stay on better when the cube's assembled, as the pieces are pushing the center piece outward (So the rivet won't be in the way of the cap).
