now that you know how all of the pieces fit in the car take them all back out and get your glue...

i'm aware that many bmw guys & gals believe that unless the spray bomb paint for their wheels isn't made by Wurth or some other german name and doesn't cost 5 times as much as it should that it's not appropriate for a bmw....you buy and use whatever makes you happy...after all...it's your car and money...not mine

for installing carpet, i use 3M super 77 or if it's sold where i happen to be super 90 spray adhesive which are available at most hardware stores, walmart and a host of other convenient stores...because it's readily available, meaning i don't have to order it from some place foreign and pay 5 times more than it's worth plus shipping, if i need more, i can hop in one of my o2's and run to home depot or lowe's and grab another can....i also use DAP brushable contact cement for the same reasons...

there's not any science in spraying glue on the back of a piece of carpet and on the floor of your car...however, you may want to be somewhat careful with the spray or you'll have over spray all over the car

i use the spray for the larger pieces and brush on the other stuff in tight areas...like near the dash and places that i don't want to accidentally get glue on....if you don't know, contact cements must be applied to both surfaces being glued together....what that means is that you're gonna have to spray and smear the gooey crap all over your car unless you want to get creative and try using velcro or something else that i haven't thought about....i' pretty creative but haven't found a better way to make sure the carpet stays where you put it without glues...i mean if you don't believe me try hanging that kick panel piece without glue or some other fastener...besides...if the pieces aren't glued tightly they'll eventually come up, the edges will get frayed, curl and look like crap

anyway, that's my advise on how to secure it but you do whatever puts a smile on your face...remember...it ain't my car that you're working on...

oh...and BTW....i don't recommend using any additional padding...fatmat and the very thin stuff is ok but no carpet padding...it'll screw up the fit
