I have a 2000 Avalon xls. My question is on the right rear strut has came threw into my rear seat, I'm lost on what was holding it in place?? it looks like the boot that has the three bolts that connects to the sheet metal is still there. so it's just the top of the strut with the knot on the top that is coming through about six to eight inches.. any ideas or thoughts I would much appreciate it thank you!! 
Sounds like the strut mount has let go.
Your best bet is to find what is called a quick struts. This will be a complete strut assembly with spring and munt completely assembled. They will run you a couple hundeed a piece. Simply unbolt the old strut and bolt in the new strut and you should be good to go.
A strut mounting kit is also available. To replace this the strut will need to be removed. The. The spring will need to be compressed. The strut can then be removed. Then the spring will be uncompressed. The parts replaced. The spring compressed and the strut reinstalled,
You will need to bring the strut to a shop to have the spring compressed.
Quick struts are way easier and more DIY friendly.
