No need to glue it. Mold it into shape, make it fit right, and its not going anywhere.

For the most part, Roy is right, not much need for it, the seats, centre console etc will hold everything down. I would use glue at the front though, where it rises up on the firewall. You don't want it curling down on you in time onto your pedels and feet. Otherwise, everything else holds it down!

having done alot of stereo and alarm work in my past i hated it when the carpet was glue down , fun part was telling the owner we arent responsible if the carpet tears when ripping it up to run the speaker wires , usually pissed them off , lol

best thing since most carpet is some what fitted for our cars , is lay the carpet down , and use the shifter boot , park brake to hold the center down , and use a heat gun the heat up the backing of the carpet and lay it out and shape it to the floor pan better working from the center to each side
first and best car owned 72 GT(changed to SS) panel wagon
