I used contact adhesive to glue it and did well. To put in right you can do it just like instaling counter top ,put conctact ciment on bought parts and when it dry just use 1 inche strips of carboard use as many to raise the carpet so it don't touch the panel ,when you have fitted the carpet just removes the stripes one at the time so this way you are sure it will fit perfecly .No staples .
