Phillip,
A lot of the carpet (the bits under the seats, the floor mats, the gearbox
tunnel cover) doesn't need fixing at all.
For the other bits (around the A-posts, door sills, etc), it's usual to use
contact glue. This holds the carpet firmly in place, but still allows it
to be pulled out and, with a bit of work, cleaned up, if necessary.
Love to see some picks of the carpet when it's done, to see how the
home-made carpet compares to the more expensive stuff!

Subject: Carpet Installation
I asked about making my own carpets about a week or so ago, and decided to
give it a try. Another problem that I have though is that I my original
carpet in the car was almost completely gone so I don't have much to go on
other then pictures. Making to carpet is not going to be the problem, but
I would like to know how to attach the carpet since I do want to be able to
remove the carpet if I need to like was mentioned earlier on another
thread. If anyone has installed carpets in their car recently and still
have the instructions I was wondering if you would mind scanning them for
me so I can something to go by. This way I can install a molded carpet set
in the future if I don't like results of my custom made set. Thanks!
Phillip
