I don't think they are glued in either.

I glued mine down. Spray stuff by 3M. Nice snug fit that way.

I glued mine in places that didn't lay quite right

This has some good tips for a carpet install. They use windshield ribbon seal, but I had some butyl seal tape I bought at Camping World that I used for my 300. You have to ignore the first couple minutes of "comedy".
I don't ever glue carpet down, If the inside gets wet or you need to pull the carpet up for any other reason, you'll be glad you didn't glue it. I've ruined glued in carpet trying to pull it up.
Using a soldering iron for the seat belt holes works great!

BTW, there's a number of very good videos these guys have put out. It's all Mustang related, but the tech stuff applies to anything.

BTW, the last carpet set I bought was from these guys. http://www.trimparts.com/main/
I used to use the ACC carpet and was never really happy with it. My biggest problem was they were a little skimpy with extra material and it faded over a few years. In my convertible, the ACC carpet installed by a previous owner (I have the receipt) was faded really bad. After checking with some other people, they told me ACC had gone down in quality since the owners had died in a plane crash. I got some recommendations for Trim Parts and I've been very happy with the carpet I bought. There was lots of extra material around the edge and the quality is really nice. Check back with me in a couple years and we'll talk about fading, but one season (this is a 'vert) hasn't hurt it.
They have some really nice floor mats made of the same material too. I bought front mats and wow... Really nice, perfect fit and priced well.
