Default door carpet

Sorry for all the separate posts. I should have consolidated these more.

Since the door panels are off my car and I do have a new carpet set for this vehicle, has anyone replaced the carpeting on the lower half of the door?

How do you remove the carpet? It seems to be glued on very well. Is there a special glue you use to attach it? Thanks for any assistance, I apprecaite you all. Just trying to pack as much stuff into my one day off each week and pestering you good folks in the process!

Wow! No one has done this? I've noticed that the old stuff has some small staples around the back edge of the door panel. I wonder if contact cement would work on this? If so, how do you remove all the old glue from the original installation? Anyone?

Glued at the top and stapled at the bottom.

Thank you Saisling. That is exactly what I needed. I evidently did a search in the wrong forum. Thanks for setting me straight. Brad
