I haven't tried this, so you take this suggestion at
your own peril, but
a  hand held hair dryer might soften up the glue
underneath.  Keep it moving so you don't burn the
carpet.  Alternatively you could try a heat gun from
the opposite side unless your car is undercoated.

Best of Luck,
Happy Healeying,
Rick
