Can  someone tell me the best way to bend these spikes over to secure the top 
 
half of the snap?



Tom,
 
While they're may be a special tool for this operation, I use my wide  (deep) 
set jaw pliers and crimp the tabs squeezing from top and bottom.   You may 
have to fold some of the carpet over so the pliers will reach the snap  but 
that's okay, the carpet bends easily and will return to it's original  shape.
