    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💕

    Thank you so much. I agree with carb10 about the useless instructions. I’ve just reach the end of my tether fitting a toilet toilet which had no instructions and then the seat was the last straw. Your tutorial is amazing. Thank you.

    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!

    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

    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.

Is it possible to put any other toilet pot cover or it has to be the same one. Please help
