Troubleshooting
Seat is wobbly after installation
Check that the mounting bolts are securely tightened. Ensure the hinges are correctly aligned with the bolt holes on the toilet bowl.
Hinges show signs of corrosion
Although designed to be corrosion-resistant, in very humid environments or with exposure to harsh chemicals, some discoloration might occur. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no harsh chemicals are used for cleaning.
Finish appears dull or scratched
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. For minor scuffs, a plastic polish specifically designed for automotive use might help restore shine, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Seat does not fit the toilet pan properly
While designed for universal fit, some non-standard or unusually shaped pans may not be compatible. Double-check your toilet's bowl shape and measurements against standard dimensions if issues persist.
