[DeTomaso] Rear Deck lid Pins-Help

[Pantdino]

Do you mean the standard pins like are used on race cars, that stick up thru the hood surface and are secured with a spring clip?  Or some other kind of pin?

Cliff,

I put pins in to secure my rear deck-lid and they work great. I've had the deck lid off several times and 
It was no problem getting everything to line-up again during re-assembly.

Your mileage may differ.

Folks,
1972 L with original "fat" rear deck lid struts. Car has that huge after market wing on deck lid (ugh) Not concerned with deck lid not staying open as I installed a "prop" rod. What I am concerned with is the side to side "movement" in the deck lid which is chipping the paint on the rear corners of the car!! I recall someone mentioning they installed "pins" that align the deck lid by the pins dropping down into holes drilled in rear of car. 
What are recommended solutions to this age old problem? 


Thank you in advance for your always ingenious feedback!!
