It would keep it from rattling, and you would still be able to get it off if you needed.
Yes, it is the top pin that is loose in the caliber..I replace them twice and still loose on the pin...Replace everthing, rotor, hardware. pins and bolts..these are fully loaded calibers so all was there..When i use the brake just a little noise goes away...all else is good except the calibers---I will try the silicone and give it a try.. I tried different manufatures and still the same..it seems like the pin hole is to big in the caliber like it needs a bushing in there...
Thanks Art
