Are you talking about the creamy white plastic 'thingies.'  If so, I have
only done this on a Ghia so the other Type 3s are going to be a little
different but it sounds like it uses the same principle.  There should be
screw holes in the part that attaches to your post.  It takes a little tiny
Phillips screw that you screw into the 'thingies.'  The 'thingies' should
also be a very tight fit within the groove in the window frame.  For anyone
else that may be looking for 'thingies,' I know that House of Ghia will have
them.
