on each side there is a rubber bushing that can be adjusted by turning it, try that and then the duct tape. BTW I've seen and heard of some horror stories and carbon fiber hoods with no pins. Might just want to find some nice pins for a piece of mind, it is not worth the hood coming up and you wrecking the car IMO.
