Glass hood "shacking" at HIGH SPEEDS?


How do I pin down my Harwood Cowl hood. Should I put pins on the front and/or by where the hinges are? When I drive at speeds above 80 the damn thing moves "around" towards the back(near wind shield). At least that's where I notice it. Anyone who had experience w/this please reply.
Many thanks-eses in advanse.
Mike

If you add pins on all corners, just say adios to the hinges. THe pins will hold it on fine.

I could have gotten a cheaper hood w/out hinges, in the first place. I wanna know how can I stablize my hood as-is?
