You only need to glue the side/longitudinal pieces, and the forward inner fender pieces. Do yourself a favor and don't glue down the floor pieces or the center tunnel piece. You
will be in a situation where you want those pieces out in the future. I'll bet $5 on it.

3M HiStrength 90 Spray Adhesive.

You can get away with no glue. The longs are held in place by the threshold strips and speaker pods. None of my carpet pieces are glued in. It's a mess to undue like Mark mentioned. Velcro strips might be a good alternative.

On the longs, I just used regular double sided carpet tape. Holds the carpet in place and easy to peel off. Used nothing on the floor and tunnel sections and I'm glad because I've pulled them up several times since installing.

I went with carpet tape as well, though I did do the floor sections. For me, they slide around too much if you don't.

What brand carpet tape did you guys use? The stuff I got at Home Depot wouldn't stick to the backing of the carpet.

I won't glue it. I'll try carpet tape if there is some consensus as to what kind to use?
