Hi AOW, I have just bought an 04 Sedona, a week or so ago, I fitted a Brink towbar, You are right in saying that the only holes needed to be drilled were in the middle of the rear valance, behind the bumper. However these came right through to where the spare wheel sits so both sides needed to be drilled. The outside was drilled 12mm and the rear where the spare wheel goes had to be drilled 23mm to allow the spacers through to the rear panel. The origional bolt holes for thr rear bemper support brackets are used although new bolts are supplied with the towbar. Instruction that came with the bar were very hard to follow and confusing. Having done it once I would have no problem doing it again but at the time there was a lot of head scratching going on..... Bar and single electric pack cost £155 inc vat. ( supply only ) Any questions please feel free to ask.....
