Mine is wobbling from the start - I think they're badly designed. Or maybe it's my own fault for buying cheap!

Yes, those were the ones - secret buttons masquerading as end-caps!

I've done it! There's a chrome circle on the outside of each hinge. You press them in, and it releases the seat from the "sticky-up bits" so I can now remove the covers and access the screws. It *was* a bit cryptic. Thanks xxx (Gonna give it all a good clean now, btw!)

I never thought I'd upload photos like this anywhere... Yuk!!! I remember an Ikea toilet seat we had - you had to attach these little sticky-up bits to the pan, and then lower the seat onto the 'sticks' until it clicked. If this is the same thing, mightn't grabbing the seat and pulling it up...

OMG - just had a screaming argument with the decorator over the phone at work. Would never have picked up if I'd known it was him. He shouted and said he felt deceived and that he cannot believe I'm going down this route and that we must've never had any intention of paying him. He didn't deny...

By the time I noticed, they'd finished - they only had about half a foot left to put on, and they refused to stop or fix it.
