Build Sheet Question

[AmazenToys]

I replaced my rear package tray this weekend, so had to remove the rear seat, well there was the build sheet, however, it is very weak, and any try to remove the paper will crumble. How can I remove without damage? is there a spray of some sort that will strengthen it?

That is also where it was (but front bucket)  in our Charger, delicate job. What we did was that I pushed the back of the seat away from the reinforcement springs and my wife gently and slowly worked it away and out, came out all in one piece but it did tear in a couple places, but not bad. I let HER remove it, one, I figured she'd be more gentle and two I sure wasn't going to get blamed if the thing fell apart !

Take car first by taking a few up close pictures of it so you have a reference. Not sure on any spray that would work. Others here may have a method. You are one of the lucky ones that has a build sheet if it matches your car. Good luck

Avoid chemicals of any kind. Just be carefull getting it out. Have a page protector sleeve handy to put it in.

Check the other locations too, you may find one or two in better shape, or for other cars;

Taped to the back side / top of the glove box insert.
Under the front bucket seats in the springs
Inside the bucket seat backs
Under the rear seat bottom
In the rear seat back.
Under the package tray(speaker shelf)
Under the carpet

I have a build sheet thats so bad that i contacted a friend in art restoration and she came over and we lifted the springs about an inch and installed supports ,at this point we used a enamel base clear spray paint and coated my build sheet several times over a few days and when dry we lifted the sheet out and laminated the remains . we also photo documented our work ,this was several years ago and the work held well also the job took about 6 hrs total my cost was 55.00 per hr and worth every penny .

I think I'll do the 2 person thing, one hold the springs back, one pull, and then place in a plastic protector as soon as I can get one, I'll do the picture idea too, just in case. Thanks for the advice, and words of wisdom

Good luck, have patience, you all can do it. But when you get it out give thanks to the Mopar gods and just use the slip protector like Barry suggested. I've been told more than once NEVER LAMINATE your build sheet. Sounds like a good idea but never yet heard anyone like Barry or "others" suggest doing this. OK, I'll drop a name GG said Don't you do it ! And that was bedore he stiffed me on an incorrect reproduced window sticker.

I had the same issue. Mine was frail and brittle. I used the two person method with great success.
It did rip a corner off by the bottom, but overall, not bad.
I used a piece of formica board as a backer to the seat and carefully slid the sheel along the board.
To this day, I keep it flat between the formica  and plastic.
