There is suppose to be a do hickey that slides up,(i believe) and this is suppose to lock them in place. There are some threads here on the org that explain how to do it's done. Good luck!

Thats on the 99-05s.... but i dont know if the 98's worked the same way.

They're just now "locked" in place. If the 98s have a lever, it just needs to be pushed all the way down to secure it. If the 98s are supposed to have this lever and you don't have one, then i'd take it to the dealership and pick one up for less than $20. Its a commonly broken part on the beetle.
