Those friction retainers are to large of a diameter to push down into the holes in the hood. The holes in the hood are just big enough to fit the oins on the grill. I am not in favor of drilling those holes out. It must have worked somehow differently from the factory. Maybe it's a replacement grill and the pins are oversize. Nonetheless, the blind friction retainers are too big to fit in the holes.
