Use contact cement to install carpet. There are now 2 kinds to use one stinks and will get you high if you sniff too much while using it but works great and the other is latex based and works OK if you use it correctly.
if you have never installed carpet in a car I recommend that you do this project with someone that has, There are a bunch of little tricks that will make the project easy and come out better. There is little room for "oops" cuts and the like.
911 carpet is installed in a set order. Each section overlays some of the last section and covers the raw edges.
Take the seats front and back out. Take all the trim off. Strip the old carpet off, noting the order of installation. Keep all the fasteners with each item removed. Clean up all glue surfaces and vacuum the area of all loose debris.
Installation takes some skill to get it right. The glue prepped carpet sticks on contact and cannot be moved without much labor and posable damage to the section being installed. The vinyl strips on the ends of some of the sections need to be carefully placed and coaxed into place. Get a bunch of single edge razor blades. Don't even think of cutting with anything else as you will get runs and pulls. Use each blade for 3 or 4 cuts and discard. I buy them in the 100 box.
There is more than this to installing auto carpet. It is not hard to do but it it is easy to mess up if you want to or go at it unprepared.
Feel free to call me if you have ?
