RE: IML: Carpet - to glue or not to glue

[Ken Lang <imperialken@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would tend to favor no-glue.  Between kick-panels, rocker-panels and seats
being bolted through the carpet, it should never move.  And if you ever have
to remove it later for any reason it will be much easier without glue.

Subject: IML: Carpet - to glue or not to glue

I am putting the interior back into my 61 Imperial convertible.  I 
refinished all the leather and vinyl and I am very pleased with the 
results. 

I am just about ready to replace the original carpet.  There seems to be 
two schools of thought about installing carpet.  Some say it should be 
glued in place and some say it shouldn't.

The original carpet was not glued.

What say ye experts?
