Not a defect really, just flaky. Unless yours is an English version (or your looking at it up-side-down), the fuse cover is on the left side of the steering wheel. Make sure the hook thingys fit into the hook thingy loops on the dash (it's easy to try to hook it at the bottom of the rectangular hole - WRONG!) Then make sure the plastic tab at the top-middle of the door has a metal clip thingy attached. Wiggle it around a bit if it doesn't latch. You might have to spread out the metal clip a bit to give it gripping power. Good Luck! GLI? No such thing! SI on a 98 - don't think so either.

in the US there is a bulletin for an updated fuse cover clip. i see
by your address you're in italy though. try the dealer and see if
they've heard of it.
