I just bought this seat and the back won't click into place either. What's the trick?

Brute force. I struggled with it for a while and then had my husband give it a try. It immediately clicked into place. He was willing to push it much harder than I was.

Hi Helen, it just takes a lot of muscle and you will probably never get it out once it's in so make sure it's lined up correctly first. I bought this chair and love it! My daughters posture is so much better than it was in the Fischer price chair. Don't let the assembly discourage you from keeping it. This chair is recommended by my daughters physical therapist to help promote motor strength and independence with eating.

My son-in-law replaced mine for me. He says it is not easy as you have to hold down the seat cushion while unscrewing the screws. He recommends using an off set screw driver or short handled one. Also there is a video on U-tube that shows how to do it. Good luck!

Do a Little filing, dip blue the filed area, cosmoline it and use a rubber mallet to seat. Works just fine on mine. Maybe your top cover is out of tolerance. A Good place to start. Good luck!

The CLICK SEAT was not offered when I purchased mine. Sorry I was not much help.

I have the same problem. I just installed a new seat on my Eljer toilet. I tried using the metal washers in all three positions, to no avail. The seat will not stay up. I called tech support, but they said the only adjustment is the metal washers. Not sure of my next move--I put the old yellowed, faded seat back on.Update: Amazon sent me a replacement and I am having the same problem: Lid stays up fine, but the seat will not stay in the up position! No Adjustments that I can see---moving slotted washers does nothing. I guess I will send this one back and get a non self closing lid.

if you meant that you were having trouble attaching the seat to the arms (already attached to the chair back) then i would suggest try putting the seat on first. if you meant that you were having trouble attaching the seat to the base via the screws.....well. make sure you are using the longer screws for this task. the directions have a mistake and usually make you attach the chair back to the arms with the wrong (longest) screws. use the longest screws and line it up. it might take some doing but you should be able to position it correctly. try screwing one screw a little first, and then going diagonally across to the other side and screwing another in partially. then connect the other two and tighten evenly to prevent it from damaging the screw slots. thats the best advice i have for you. if you cant manage that, maybe let someone else do it (ooh, like maybe someone you are angry at. that would be pretty good punishment. and they might even be able to do it lol).

There is an almost continuous creaking sound emanating from behind the seat where the sliding seat meets the seat track. It appears that the two do not fit snugly, even when the knob is tightened, leading to this very annoying sound. I've tried inserting a rubber wedge into the place where the track and seat meet, but it still doesn't solve the problem.

I don't have this issue, but check around where it snaps down, is anything in the way (tall screw head, etc)? Is the seat positioned correctly? Worst case, if you call Kohler and explain the issue, they usually fix your problem. Which may include shipping you a new seat. I have 3 of these in my house, and all work great for me.

I can't get the fitting foot ring to slide down the post. I tried WD 40 and it still won't go past a few inches. In the illustration it is about halfway between the seat bottom and the base. What should I do?

Everything was easy xcept the seat. Help! How do you put together? I feel like there are too much hardware on a tiny screw that holds together with a but but not to me. Help! I just got this bike I cannot figure it out. There's a seat separate hardware and somehow you stick the hardware in the seat and attach the seat slider....how?????

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.

Slide the pulling side back through the seat so you're pulling from the side opposite the slide lock. Also, rocking while pulling helps a lot. If that still doesn't work, tighten it a little more before you clip it to the D-ring.

Maybe you didn't lock it at the proper position (there's only one spot on the handle where you can do this, you should hear and feel it click). Otherwise you should send it back

I had the same problem. Look down from the top of the chair into the hole the seat back should go into. You should see a clear oval passage (matches the shape of the back post). If that is partially blocked, the locking mechanism is misaligned. Look next at the ends of the locking mechanism -- both the knob end and the opposite end (plastic, D-shaped pieces on my chair) should be flush with or stick out a little bit from the square metal bracket. line up the D-shaped plastic pieces with the matching holes in the metal bracket and then tap the end that sticks out too far until things line up better. I had to loosen/tighten the knob to get things lined up properly before tapping into position (it need a pretty good whack to be honest). I ended up using a rubber mallet to persuade compliance! once the mechanism is aligned, you may need to loosen the knob to allow the back to slide in, then tighten and you should be good to go.

If you are replacing the seat with an identical model they pop on or off with the push if a button. It looks like you could probably replace the seat with a different model or brand, but you would need to use an Allen wrench to take the old one off.

Mine just slots in and out. There are a couple of buttons on each side to depress when you remove it. You might try holding those in when you pop it back, although mine just clicked back into place without doing this.
