Help to remove this toilet seat please

[silver50]

I understand the seat is pushed onto two upward facing prongs but OMG I’ve no idea how it releases to come off. It’s loose.

Can’t seem to do anything with the sticky out grey plastic bits, can’t see any release button and I’ve tried to lift it off with the whole seat at various angles. No joy.

Please feel welcome to me feel stupid if it’s actually easy and I’m missing something! Thanks

Have to tried pushing these bits in?

Yep. They seem fixed and don’t move.

Ah those bits.. I will try again with a screwdriver incase they’re seized

I’ve tried more firmly with a screwdriver. No joy. Those feel a little bit rubbery when pushing with a screwdriver. I wondered if they levered out (like a grommet) but I didn’t want to mess them up as they don’t really seem to be for budging.

Just put the seat vertically and pull upwards, nothing to loosen.

Thanks but I did that. There was no sign of it budging. I can certainly try again though.
