Default Carpet Glue

I have a 99 coupe and the carpet next to the gas pedal is sticking up and getting in the way of my pedal to the metal driving. What type of glue should I use that will dry quickly and hold the carpet and insulation down. It's sticking up pretty good so whatever glue I put on it I'll also have to add some weight to hold the carpet down until the adhesive dries. Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks.

Instead of using an adhesive, why not try double-stick carpet tape. It works well but can be removed if need be. Just a thought.

I would remove the carpet and use an EPOXY adheasive to re-seal the joint.
