    This video is a lifesaver. The instructions that came with the toilet seat were utterly useless although anything remotely involving assembly fails me. In matter of minutes I fitted the toilet seat following this video. Thank you very much.

    Oh you Guns!!!!! I was half mad trying to work this out - the instructions only related to setting up the softclose mechanism ie no info about actually attaching the seat to the pan. Your vid solved everything! Thank you💕

    Good tutorial.
    It's also important to make sure the seat stays up unsupported. You may need to rotate the mounts so that the spindles are in front of the screws, not behind, to achieve this

    Awesome, thank you for this simple guide. Had a seat go loose and had no idea how to remove and tighten. Use to the seat bolts you can access underneath. As soon as I saw the release button, my self fix was easy!

    That's brilliant i realise now that i had got the plastic which the long screw fits into upside down no wonder the seat felt loose, i can now have another go at it.... The paper diagram which came with the seat was hard to understand fortunately i worked it out for myself but i must say it felt like putting a jigsaw puzzle together.

I tried looking on canadian tire and other websites but I couldn’t find it. So I don’t know what is the standard size. If you have an email address I can send you the picture of my toilet seat. Is it possible to put any other toilet pot cover or it has to be the same one. Please help

    Agree. Instructions that came with toilet seat and hardware are useless. Plus the replacement seat hardware does not come with a new insert to screw bolt in. This is the most important part to replace because it deteriorates bc of the "Wet" environment
