Thank you I have been annoyed with my stupid loose toilet seat for ages and didn't realize the fix was this easy.

[@nikkifarland6960]

Wow, as a first time homeowner, I’m still learning as life goes on. This video was so helpful! I fixed my issue in seconds! Thank you so much! 🚽👍😊

[@meenarajpara8552]

I didn't I think I could do this myself but I followed your video here n actually put the bolt on w the washer n it totally worked out great. I'm so glad you had this video. I was determined to at least try it myself without having to call a handyman who would have charged me me at $50.00 if not more. Thank you so much. God bless you.

[@angeladavis1731]

Chris, I am a 22 year old individual who has had a broken toilet for a couple months and I cannot believe I found your video after all this time because I finally bothered to look it up and your video was the first that popped up. Thank you for making it simple and short. My toilet is fixed now. So thank you. You have no idea how happy I am right now.

[@ChrisMcDowellDIY]

[@_Majoras]

how do you fix toilet seat cap hinges that never stay down/always pop up?

[@liliyach7235]

Thank you

[@bhaveerathod2373]

Thank you soooo much!

[@carolinel3483]

Thank you sir.

[@stas4112]

makes you wonder how people did anything before the internet haha. I feel so dumb for thinking this was going to be hard to fix, never would have guessed it was this easy :)

[@OthmanAlikhan]

Thanks for the video =)

[@soshilevi]

thanks 👍

[@themisfit9465]

Wow thanks.

[@WNewburn]

Would expanding toilet seat bolts work with this type of seat hinge?

[@NotableTarun]

Gud information

[@kevinrtres]

Thanks for the video. I do have my doubts though. Replacing metal with plastic??? Mmmmhhh.......

[@johnjohn9639]

Brand new construction . One side tight . How do I get the bolt out . I pulled on it . I tried to unscrew it of course it is just loose .

[@bbaaspencer1]

I tried that and two weeks later, loose again! I tightened it super tight too!

[@ChrisMcDowellDIY]

Yeah they do eventually loosen, but I haven‘t had any loosen as fast as yours. A better solution, but a little more expensive is one of the soft close toilet seats. At least the ones I‘ve used have an attachment point that never loosens. You quite literally tighten it until the head pops off. Then it just never loosens, at least the ones I’ve done never have. It‘s $30 to $40 for one of those seats. I have another video installing one of them if you need an exact brand. I talk about it in that video. Anyway, thanks for watching!

[@TNCOWBOY07]

I used the metal bolts since the plastic bole that came with the toilet seat broke. However, the directions does not say where the washer goes. I put it on the bottom. Should it have been installed on top of the seat hinged to the toilet instead of the bottom?

[@davidbergewaytogo]

I tried tightening the seat on my American Standard toilet, but the nut that's jammed into the rubber gasket came out when I pulled the bolt off! I tried pushing it back in but now it's slanted and I can't screw the bolt in :( Any ideas?

[@GPT1982]

Our toilet don't have those screws. We have to use a wrench to loosen the bottom screws!

[@Shalmaneser1]

Good video. To the uninitiated: The nuts in the package are on backwards. You want to reverse them so the fluted (sloped) edge is against the toilet. May the guy who designed this replacement bolt rot. (I just pulled the remaining unbroken of this type from my toilet. They do not unscrew. The plastic slot is inadequate - breaking is the usual solution. Maybe a matching slot head is up to the task. Have you seen the price of oddball tools lately?

[@loragarver2856]

Thank you! Thank you! I had already bought the replacement bolts, & thought they were on upside down, but both directions worked. Have been looking at all videos, but nobody addressed this. Including this one. I am shall we say challenged at this type work, so thank you @Shalmaneser1 for clearing this up for me.

[@Shalmaneser1]

@@loragarver2856 FWIW: They sent me a pair of metal bolts & nuts without charge. I'm guessing that they may be fine-tuning their engineering. (hoping, really) Seems Microsoft isn't the only one using the public as guinea pigs.

[@ACEKING26]

mine still shaking a little after the fix

[@sabby2728]

👍🏻

[@jnaut6059]

👍🏼

[@HughBone]

I HAD NO IDEA THERE WERE THINGS ON THE BOTTOM HUH

[@jayhome2715]

If only every toilet seat hinged like this lol

[@yassersabir55]

I can’t take the nut off of my old toilet seat screws. What should I do?

[@lizb4156]

Toilets are all different, mine don't fix easily like that. The bolts aren't even lose and the seats move.

[@TylerSmith-et8yr]

Those are bolts, not hinges. What if the hinge breaks

[@NotSoLiberal]

These bolts are too big for mine. Apparently there’s no standard

[@hicksa1]

The problem is that they ALL LOOSEN UP VERY QUICKLY! And your back under the toilet seat smh!

[@gen2900]

i watch this and feel sad your wife break tolet seat you fix so often

[@truthseaker2944]

Don't get the plastic ones..

[@lornawood3260]

Yep. Easy as that, unless you have metal bolts that won’t turn even after soaking in WD40 for two days. Then what? I can change out a toilet seat, no problem, but these bolts are boogers!!

[@fa1th_fu11onyt]

my toilet seat is diffrent
