Default Carpet glues?

What is the glue used to hold the carpet to the storage/battery compartment door bezels? Carpet is not staying tucked in by the battery door. Thanks

3M makes a good strong spray adhesive. I used to felt my pool table.

3M upholstery adhesive works well. I use it to reattach headliners, carpet, and door trim quite a bit. Be sure to apply to both surfaces and allow to it to dry to a "tacky" state before attaching.

DAP® Landau Top & Trim High Heat Resistant Contact Cement is what many shops use. For carpet you should use spray gun if you have an air compressor set up. If the carpet is backed, you can use a brush, but if you get too big of a glob it can bleed though. Apply to each side, let dry for up to 15 min until tacky.

Some shops will sell you a pint if you bring them a empty can.

Here is a random video of some pieces being made, where they are using the DAP Wellwood though a gun.
