Default Installing door panel carpeting

I am having a real hard time with this seemingly simple procedure. Whats the easiest way to do this. It seems that the lower part of the upper door panel shold be in contact with the black panel i need to attach the carpet to but it is curled up. Do i need to super glue it down or something. AAlso this vinyl wrap on the bottom of the capet that wraps around the bottom of the black panel is a real bit@h. Any tips for this install. I thought it wold take 10 minutes but its a real pain in the behind. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

use 3m yellow or black weather stripping adheasive. remove the old carpet and all the old glue. you will need to staple the vinyl part on the back of the pannel. i put bricks on mine to hold the carpet flat until it dried. its a days work.
