I don't think it was mentioned here, but there's a rivet puller page on the zenair builder site that addresses having to make 2 pulls to drive the rivet. See page 2 at: http://www.zenithair.com/pdf-doc/pneu-riveter.pdf

A big thank you to all who responded to my call for help.
Yesterday evening I was able to find, and correct the problem with my rivet gun.
As was mentioned in a previous response, the defect was with the large O-ring
on the piston at the top of the handle. it has an O-ring at the rear to seal
the oil, and both guns had O-rings that were dried out and hardened.
This is why the gun was quitting after a dozen or so rivets, because the oil was
leaking pass the O-ring into the stem catcher. Now it is working great, with
no oil leaks.
There was however one casualty in all this and that is my second gun. While I
was rebuilding the first one on the bench I casually pulled the trigger to check
how far back the piston was pulling, and when it evacuated the air from the
lower canister, it blow the spring from my second gun off the bench, and was
never to be seen again.

Yes, now that I think of it, I did tighten those jam nuts twice, the second
and last time using lock tite on the threads. No problem since.
One other thing is until I learned to be sure the shaft of the previous
rivet was out of the gun, sometimes it would not close and grab the stem
until I made sure the stem of the previous rivet was out, either through the
backside or head.

I have the doors too. I believe they use extruded polyester. I forget the brand
name. It appears to be available in Europe but I could not find it available
on this continent. It has properties very similar to polycarbonate (e.g. Lexan).
I miscut a panel on one side initially so ended up getting some polycarbonate
from Aircraft Spruce. Both sides have stress cracks.
On the safety latch subject, these doors have an extra tab that can be used from
the inside to snug the back end into the fuselage. On climbout in one flight
the main latch opened on my side (not sure if I hit it with my hand by mistake
or if I never secured it properly in the first place). The door front opened
like a mouth with just the back latch holding it until I got the door closed
again.

Some of your pullers sound like a different kind than the green one I have,
which I was told saw supplied by ZAC. It's out in the hangar and there's 1/3
mile of 3 footdeep snow and it's -47F windchill out there right now, so I don't
feel like snaping on snowshoes to make the trek! Hah!

Okay, I stumbled upon a pic of my doors before installation, and the protective
film says "Bayer Axpet". Web search confirms they are polyester sheet. I am
surprised you see any stress cracking in this material because it seemed to plastically
deform (e.g. bend a crease by hand and it gets cloudy and stretches).
Maybe I'm mis-remembering..
