Loose Toilet Seat? Stop The Wobble with this Inexpensive tapered washer. 

I watched a lot of videos on this and couldn't figure it out your video was the only one that helped. Thank you!

Been suffering with this problem for a long time, that is a great fix thank you so much!

Best thing I’ve seen since a crap load of other waste videos thanks man that’s a good idea 👍🏽

Second video I've seen of pure genius...

Thanks, great tip, worked perfectly for me... Used this tip on new seats that were not fitting tightly. Job done!

Thanks so much! This has been a very annoying problem for as long as we've lived in our flat. We actually even had all the right pieces but had installed the rubber washer below the seat rather than above!

Lawrence, Kohler toilets use the 'blind' screw/anchor system. The bolts should not wiggle in the china, but if the bolts are lose in the hinge you could 'spacer' them w/the proper size o-ring to reduce or eliminate the gap. I'm not a fan of the 'blind' attachment system because it uses proprietary anchors and you have to sent out for replacement parts.

Thank you so much! My toilet seat is soooo bad, you have to be careful how you sit, but tomorrow I’m gonna fix it! Thank you!

did this and it works...thanks for uploading the video

I've had this problem forever! thank you!

Very clever. Thank you.

Mr steady seat has a good idea, a little far away and I can't get them wholesale in the USA but I'm looking. My tapered washers still work fine.

AWESOME!

Great 👍 Thank you!

00:34 poetic! "You have a smaller bolt Goin' to a larger china hole The hole in the china's allowing The bolt to wiggle around"

Good video ....subscribed

Thanks

Genious. Thanks.

RU-vid won't let me give your video a thumbs up!

Blair I need to get a hold of that rubber washer. Will you post to UK? I'm having the same issue as Lawrence- I am unable to get to the screw once it has been inserted into the hole- it's a 'blind' or 'closed' ceramic bowl. Any ideas what to do in this situation? Will the tapered washer work in this instance?

Cone washers. They do work!

most common problem is the seat hinges wiggle and not how it's fixed to the bowl. single bolt on either side for a hinge is always going to be a problem. if they designed things correctly in the first place half of us wouldn't ever have the problem. check first to see if it's the fixing to the bowl that is loose or the actual hinges on the seat that causes it to slip off of the bowl

What about those commercial type toilet seats? I work at a local grocery store & i do janitor type work there, cleaning the restrooms. Those curved-looking pieces that sit on the back sides of the toilet seat, two of them have gave way over time. They're made of hard plastic & they broke in half the other day as i was cleaning the toilet in the men's bathroom. The toilet seat is a Bemis brand name. Any suggestions on what i can do to fix that seat?

Miztaziggy, sorry for being gone so long. Contact Kohler, they may send you new fasteners at no charge. Good luck!

This is a great solution, however I am in the UK and can not find them in local independent hardware stores, major hardware retailers or plumbing merchants. Not one stocks anything like these, do they have another purpose, name or description that I can use to track them down? Thanks for the video, I have subscribed.

Who else is watching these kinds of videos on a shaky toilet seat taking a massive shit hoping they don't fall off?

Those curved pieces sit back there on the hinge, acting like spacers so the seat doesn't move around. Well, since they broke, the seat is wiggling around badly. It's only on one seat in the men's bathroom at the grocery store where i work at. The women's bathroom, one of the toilet seats in there, one curved piece broke off a while back. I guess when the toilet seats are used alot in public places like that, parts tend to wear out over time.

Do you still stock those rubber washers? If so, where are they in your eCatalogue? Much obliged!

what kind of flat driver bit are you using? mine has the same hardware as in this video, but that plastic screw is not very strong and I don't want to damage it. The slit on the bolt is very long. The biggest of my flat-head screwdrivers still felt too small for it.

I have been trying to find the tapered rubber washer. Can you tell me if Home depot or Lowe's carries them and what they are called? And a picture of the washer uncut, the video did not show a close up.

I'm wondering how u screw the screw down if it's a blind screw in a slightly smaller hole in the washer, or not for that matter? Think using a pair of pliers or wrench would take forever.

oh

Please tell your wife I am in love with YOU! THANK YOU!

My SEAT is nice and tight; it's the LID that is loose and wiggling. What do I do?

"Like you've never seen before." Sounds just like Trump! LOL! (Thanks for the tip, though!)

Thanks
