installed koni yellows, now interior has a case of the squeakies

I installed Koni yellows in rear recently. (haven't gotten to the fronts yet) Love the setup, but the rear interior now squeaks. The whole interior came back together with no problems, but obviously something is different than it was beforehand. Any tips on how to find and elimininate the squeaks?

I don't mind taking the interior out again to resolve this as I can't live with the squeaks.

This is one thread that comes to mind that might be helpful where Redshift hunted down some rear deck squeaks.

Update: I hadn't had a close look at it yet, but I took my kids out for a ride yesterday and the squeaking has now stopped. I think in my case it must just have been either the seatbottom or the seatbacks which weren't perfectly seated, but when they sat in it the squeaks went away. (and they each only weigh like 60 lbs.)

so if you are having this problem, try having someone sit in the backseats a bit.

For the 20 minutes squeak I would 2nd the door seals.

Check out Wurth rubber seal cleaner treatment. It is the replacement for gummipledge stuff.

Worked well for me. Think I bought it from pelican parts.
