hood problems

my hood pin seems to be working just fine. but the thing is at highway speed like 60-80mph the sides of the hood flop up and down and it kinda scarres the crap out of me cause i dont want it to come up on me. is there eny suggestions to keep it down? or should i just use universal hood pins?

use the stock hood latch

plus man with the greedy import owners people with hood pins are easy to steel parts off of such as intakes and other small engine items
