My toilet seat will not stay in place. How can i fix it?

The associated product (Kohler 84999 toilet anchor seat) for this question is to be used for a one piece toilet. If that is the case, I was unsuccessful in trying to install the seat with this kit.

I recently replace a toilet seat that had cracked. I ordered from Kohler and my building handyman explained that Kohler often doesn't tell you that it needs an anchor kit that also needs to be ordered.Here's his answer to the question:"It may need a new anchor kit and seat replacement if its the same toilet that you have after time the anchors break away keeping the seat down but not holding it tightly."That's my best answer. I realize that I didn't do this myself and the other answers make it sound complicated! This is my

You have the right tools..the tool bar use to hold the anchor head under the toilet seat. Once you set the tool bar tried to tighten your screw head above the toilet seat hinges.

If you have a one piece Kohler toilet, you have to remove the existing seat fasteners. Mine we rusted beyond use so I drilled the bolts out. Using the anchor kit noted, replace seat fasteners following the instructions. Make sure the bolts are reasonably tight before remove the bolt holder arm. Retighten without the arm to complete the process. Good luck!

If you cant get the bolts to tighten, you will need to replace them with a new anchor kit 84999. Unless I am misunderstanding you.

It is loose because the bolt is spinning. This tool is supposed to help you remove it and then permit you to install an anchor for the bolt. However, I was not successful in using the removal tool and got a refund. I still have not been able to remove my toilet seat.

A wrench is needed to tighten the appropriate bolts holding the seat. Should solve the problem.

I don't know as I replaced the seat immediately. I will say it is hard to find a proper seat for these toilets. I bought 2 and I will be replacing them they are note very good.

No I have not experienced that. The seat that comes with the toilet is a good one, at least on the elongated shaped bowl. We recently replaced it (2+ years) but after removing it I found I could fix the reason for it coming off the hinge. There's a plastic sleeve that slipped out from it's plastic holding cage, pushed it back in. Looks like the plastic cage eventually gets a bit misshaped so it'll probably come loose again, but hasn't yet.

I think the answer by LB is write on. I had to adjust mine a few times before stopped it from sliding when I sat on it. It is all in the "installation Manual" that came with the toilet. Bang

We have two of these toilet seats (one upstairs and one on our main level). Unfortunately one pops off frequently and the other gives us no trouble. I don't imagine we use them all that differently, so it's just probably a "luck of the draw" type of thing.

Just hold the seat down (firmly) and start screwing in the screws. That will work.

Have the same problem with mine. I agree with the others....still like the seat. Perhaps we should contact the company and they will modify the design.

You need to buy longer plastic screws for the toilet seat, Lowes or home depot has that.

If changing the batteries doesn't fix the problem, there is a contact info on their website http://cleansensebidet.com. I recently emailed them about the bolts that attach the seat to the toilet because they got broken, and they sent me free replacements in a few days.

Mine also wiggled but I went back to it the next day, and got it really tight. I think the adjuster helps. It's worth the $10. Another option is taking it to a car seat inspection. They will get it tight for you. I'd gotten mine so tight that the inspector left it alone, saying I installed it perfectly!

You Need to make sure your Toilet Seat Is FLAT because the Bidet is under the seat, any curve in your seat will probally damage the Bidet! So be aware... you can go to any hardware store ( Lowes, Homedepot, Ace) and look at the seats and they are fairly inexpensive.

Yes, remove the old toilet seat, this new one looks really nice and it is easy to install. it is noteven noticeable that it is not the original.

do you have the bolt threads turned up? The bracket goes down first the the toilet hinges go on top then the bolts go in to hold all together. you must do this with the toilet seat closed. I hope this helps.

We had the same problem. We just got a wooden board the same size as the seat and screwed it on. It worked find. I don't know where to buy a new on.

i guess an elongated toilet seat is the kind that closes slowly . all i know is that i had totake my toilet seat off, and tape it to the top of this high toilet seat. it wouldn't fit ontop without doing this. if yours is the same distance apart as mine, probably not. wish icould help more.

I have this seat and mine is popping off also. I'm going to try and take it back to Lowes.
