Greg,

I added a carpet remnant in my 86 and I didn't fasten it down at all.  It fits
pretty snug in there and doesn't move around (you can tuck it under the edges of
the cabinet a little).  I left it like this so I can take it out and shake it
out and vacuum it easily (I have two big hairy dogs).

That's the easiest solution - just cut to fit.
