Any suggestions on how to install t-molding without router?

I think you are out of luck gluing it to a flat surface. Most T-mould is made from poly ethylene, one of the properties of this material is that nothing sticks to it...
Before someone points out that hot melt glue works, it is not really sticking to the t-mould. The hot melt glue sticks to the timber in the groove then fills the gaps between the t-mould barbs and the groove creating a mechanical bond not a chemical bond.

It seems there is really no good alternative to slotting.
Slotting is your best bet no matter how you slice it.
MacGyver:
If you had to, and were committed enough, you could do it with a Dremel, really slowly. Check pawn-shops or CL for a really cheap router.
Nothing is impossible.

Ok ok ok... I'll have to go with the real way. A friend of mine has router and I've found this: http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=75&products_id=330
So I should be good now. Adjusting it will be interesting but hey, that's the real way.

Slot cutting with a router is actually pretty easy. Just make sure the slot cutter is installed in the correct direction (if you smell burning, it's backwards) and do the height adjustments using a test piece first.
