Best time to do carpet is summer. Leave it in the sun until it gets good and limber. I would use padding or sound deadoning padding from a body shop. I would just use contact cement in the middle on the hump and maybe in between some. The door plates should hold the other down. I wouldn't glue the whole thing.
