How to change this toilet seat

[ax222s]

Hi,

I m trying to change the toilet seat. I dont think its like a normal toilet seat which has 2 screw bits either side which you have to undo. I think its a slimline toilet (ie smaller than a standard toilet)

This is the view looking down onto the back of the seat (with the lid closed)

And this is the front

Has anyone changed a toilet seat on one of these before? Thanks

Blimey, you could knit a scarf with those pubes!

I know - its absolutely disgusting. (its not my toilet!!!)

You can see a clip thing at the back which looks like it should loosen the seat, but it doesnt.

The clip thing on the back sticking out should slide one way or the other then the full toilet seat will slide off clip is on pic two then you will be left.with the bracket which screws on the wc

Did you sort it ?

Ugh. As it happens Ive just caught covid! Feel utterly rubbish. I presume Ill be better in a few days. Ill tackle the toilet lid then and let you know how I get on. Thanks.

Sounds like you’ve caught pubic fever. Get well soon.

Ironically I’ve also just caught covid‍
I sympathise with you

How you feeling @Jake2021 ? Covid savaged me for a few days, but I feel Im over the worst of it. It is a lot worse at night for some reason. For me the sore throat was the worst thing.
Anyway, I got bored being laid in bed so thought Id take another stab at this damn toilet seat. It slid off easily just like you said (easy when you know how).
Im looking for a replacement lid rather than both the lid AND the seat. I suppose they arent sold separately. I cant find any toilet lids with this fixing? Is it classed as a 'top fixing' seat or something?

Hi
Glad you got it off… I’m still feeling shocking, it’s the second time I’ve had covid in 3 months but not fully recovered from the first time anyway. I don’t know if you have young children or have young children that visit but here’s a family toilet seat which may be the same but you’d have to double check with the seller

Ugh! Sorry to hear that @Jake2021 ! Twice in 3 months!?

Ive just established that the seat is a "quick release" D shaped lid. Googling this has given me many options thanks.

This type of lid is good - its super quick to remove the whole lid making it easy to clean the toilet. Ingenious!

Anyway - hope you get better soon!
