Installing New Carpet

[Poorsche Man]

I have a couple of questions for installing my new carpet:

What's the best process in removing the old adhesive from the sheet metal and sound deadening material.?

How do you attach the front left and right carpet pieces? ie do I need to pull out the weather stripping (near the door hinge)? Pulling the old carpet out of these seams was difficult and I don't know how I will put the new carpet in at the weather stripping.

What's the best adhesive to use when I put the new carpet in?

Thanks for all your help.

You can use the 3M adhesive remover or diluted paint thinner (which is basically what the 3M stuff is) and a scotch bright sponge. I also found a plastic spackle knife to be useful.

Thanks, I''ll try that. And for the new carpet how is the 3M adhesive?
