I'll be removing and re-fitting the floor on my car soon as a number of the rivets have corroded. I know this subject has been covered on here before but I couldn't find anything on the search engine so:
1. Is the carpet attached to the floor panel?
2. I'll use stainless screws to re-secure. What size screws do I need? Any recommendations as to where to get them?
3. Any other tips while I'm at it?

The carpet is stuck down with tackifier, each section pulls up quite easily from inside and it leaves all the vertical carpets in position, just get a can of tackifier and stick them back in.
