Replying to: vcheng20 (Oct 23, 2009 4:44 am) First I should have said that I have a Sedona 2007. So my finding would only be applicable to that generation. In my case the squeaking noise was so bad that I was shy to get people on board. You can get this padding from....your dealer (you can probably find this somewhere else) it is square pieces of 6" x 6" of felt approx 3/8 inches thick (I used 2 pads). In my case the first and probably most important squeak was coming from 2 inches behind the place where the seat belt is bolted to the car body (near the floor). Is your squeaking coming from there? If you remove the bolt and put you finger in you will feel there is a molded stand off that is used to maintain a certain space for electrical harness.Inserting the paddind between this stand off and the steel body cure the problem on the passenger side. For the second place (driver side) I opened the access trap (easy to do with a flat screwdriver) and I inserted a padding way down to the floor I packed it to a point that I saw the plastic moving toward me and Bingo! no more squeak on that side either I hope the same miracle will occur to you...
