    Strip off all the carpet and use acetone to get the glue up or carb. cleaner in a spray can works good also.

    Spray the carpet with xylol first. Let soak for 30 minutes and the carpet will lift right off. It turns the glue to jelly. Cleanup is fast and easy.

    It is xylene. Check paint supplies for it.
