Mystery solved! Many thanks sir! 10 mins later, (looking for the screwdriver) had a crack at fixing this. 3 mins later, job done. Cheers!

This 63 year old grandma just fixed a very loose for some time soft-close toilet seat. Thank you so much for posting this!!

Thank you. I'm a 63 year old not a grandmother and you saved me extra stress. The release button was on the side of the seat; however I was able to tighten it in a few minutes. Excellent video.

Thanks very much for posting this video. Thiis video helped fix my toilet seat, which was lose for almost 5 months. Now the lid slow close also works after fixing it.

Literally just had a new downstairs bathroom fitted and within a few days the toilet seat had come loose. Could not work out how to tighten it up and was convinced that the plumbers had attached the seat prior to fitting the toilet pan so believed the whole toilet would need to be removed to fix the problem. Thank you so much for showing the easy fix!

Brilliant! This is literally the first time a YouTube DIY clip has delivered so brilliantly - simple, clear guidance and the problem fixed in 5 minutes. I feel like MacGyver now. Liked and subbed.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I know how to tighten/replace an ordinary toilet seat, but tightening my American Standard soft close seat totally perplexed me. Even had two sons-in-law look at it, and no suggestions. It was so easy once you told me about the "button" and just lifting it off. Only thing was mine had hex screws instead of Phillips, so I had to go out and buy the right tools--no biggie! This 66 yr old grandma just fixed her own toilet seat! Thank you!!

This video saved my sanity! Everyone was telling me that the whole toilet had to be removed, but I knew there had to be another way! Thanks mate!

Mate you are a legend, both urinals fixed after dealing with this annoyance for 2 years! Cheers

Thanks, I had zero idea that it was just all hidden and revealed by pushing that centre button... I have two on mine and your instructions helped me out big time, so A BIG THANKS

THANKS, I just realigned the way my remodelers had set my beautiful square toilet seat I never would've figured out the new style attachments without your video. THX again ~

Perfect, I'm a six year experienced plumber and I didn't hiw to fix this... thanks bro, this video help me to do it.

thanks a lot for the video, my caps had to be pride with the flat head screwdriver like you said. It took a long time to get them off. As a tip to others, it helped a lot to give knocks on the handle of the screwdriver (up and down) instead of trying to pry it up all around with only leverage force

I have never given feedback before, for anything but this has been so helpful. I have struggled for weeks trying to work out how to tighten a toilet seat and didn't want to force anything in case I broke it. This video is exactly what I needed and very clear. I have done the job in 5 minutes. Many many thanks

Thank you - I fixed my son's loose toilet seat so he won't have to use my bathroom anymore. Lifesaver!

[barbarasteel]

Thank god for this video. There was no way my husband could get behind the toilet to tighten the loose seat and then I tried. Not a chance!!!! Then I decided to you tube it and came across your video. Problem solved in 5 minutes. Thank you

Toilet seat was getting looser and looser over the last few weekend, to a point that I thought we just had to buy another toilet seat because this one is broken. Thank you for this video, fixed within 2 minutes 🙏🏽

You are a God send, i have these exact toilets in my bathrooms and 1 had a loose seat. I watched your video and tightened the seat in no time. Thank you, thank you 👊🏾
