I removed my entire carpet and used the old carpet as patterns to make new carpet, easy but time consuming. When you reinstall your carpet, order weldwood brand landau top and upholstery cement in a baby blue and white gallon can, I think it only comes in gallons. It is made by weldwood that makes the same contact cement they sell at Lowes and Home Depot, but it is NOT the same product, GOOD STUFF. A local upholstery guy tipped me to it. It took a whole gallon to redo my whole interior carpet and upholstery. Its strong too, you can stretch the **** out of upholstery and just stick it once this stuff tacks up. It holds like mad!
