2016 Seneca HJ squeak behind passenger seat ?

[matthewphilippe]

We have developed a bad squeak behind the passender seat where the cabinet for the TV and fireplace is located.
Has anyone found a solution to this ?
Unit is way out of warranty and ther ealer is no help.

Does it sound like it is inside the the TV cabinet, or could it be body panels squeaking against each other?

On my TS I had squeaking noises on both sides behind the seats, seemed to be mainly above my head. More prevalent on bumpy roads. Found that the screws in the outside cab-to-body seams were pushing out (again). And also the horizontal seams (at the cab roof level) also seemed to be rubbing against each other. Upon opening up those wall areas behind the seats I did discover the 3 screws Jayco had installed to hold the two parts together were pulling out.

I repaired the outside seam issues by through-bolting the seams on both sides. For the two horizontal seams I used stainless bolts, fender washers, and nuts to "squeeze" the seam together. While I had those areas apart I also checked all the Freightliner cab to the Jayco fiberglass screws (which many have found sheared or missing) and all was great there.

So after repairing those areas things are much quieter going down the road.

We have a 2018.5 RB, this year they moved the tv/fireplace to the front corner just like the HJ. We als developed a bad squeak that seemed to be from the cabinet rubbing on the panel that seals the cab/coach connection off. When I tore into it, I found that it was the fiberglass corner cap attachment to the cab, there were 5 screws installed and all 5 were broken off. There is a pretty good thread about it and here is my repair…I am betting you have the same issue.

X2 on what Rustynuts said.
We have a 2018.5 HJ and it had a terrible squeak behind the passenger seat.
Took the TV/Fireplace out and all the screws were broken attaching the house to the cab. Fixed everything and the squeak went away.
