[DeTomaso] Rear Deck Lid Hinge Pins

[Mike Trusty]

My pins are a slight friction fit.  One fell out and the other was heading
that way at Silver State.  They are now secured.

Some people have a devil of a time getting the pins out, but others have 
found the friction fit isn't what it used to be and -those- are the ones 
that need to be secured in some way.


>>>When I had my decklid off (via unbolting the hinges from the roof), I
beat on my hinge pins for more than 10 minutes 
and couldn't get them to budge at all.  While I have no fear of them falling
out, I wish I could remove them at will (or better
yet, replace them with appropriately sized bolts....)
