Hood pin squeaks

[dave73]

My hood pins are squeaking a bit. Doesn't look like the pin is rubbing on the hood when going through the hole. Any ideas to stop the squeaking?

Wrap some masking tape around the pin, then go for a drive. It should show on the masking tape where it's rubbing , then take a length of tubing  that fits over the pin and bend it till it's right.  Is the hole big enough? Drill you drill the hole or was it pre drilled?

Thanks. Took your advice and it is rubbing when moving. The hole I drilled in the hood is smaller than the diameter of the hood pin "female" side that attaches to the hood. I'll drill out the hood a bit more, won't see it anyway...
