Question
1999 Toyota Avalon XLS
How do you remove the rear seat to gain access to the tops of the rear struts so they can be replaced?

Answer
Pull up the seat cushion, it pops out of the retainers, fold the seatbacks foreward, remove the plastic pillars on the sides of the rear window this will let you move the rear tray up enough to get to the top bolts, there are some plastic clips on the front of the rear shelf that have to be removed.
