Default Bimini top frame pins

Hi folks. On my 2012 Cobalt 210, the bimini top frame is secured together with pins that have 3 inch long cable lanyards which are crimped to a fitting which is riveted to the frame posts. I think most smaller tops are like this. The problem I noticed this year is some of the cables are breaking at the crimped connection due to fatigue or maybe some corrosion. I've searched around but haven't found any products that seem more reliable. I can think of some homemade solutions but figured there would already be something out there.
Anyone have the same problem and come across anything?
Thanks
