Vitra S20 loose soft close seat

Demonstrates how to tighten a loose soft close toilet seat on a Vitra S20 toilet. The toilet is back to the wall design so the tightening has to take place with the seat removed from its mountings. This particular seat has chrome caps on the end of the hinge mechanism. These caps must be slipped off to allow the seat to be lifted off to gain access to the fixing screws.

Many thanks. I was really struggling with this until I saw your video. I had visions of having to take the pan off the wall and demolishing the bathroom, You have saved my sanity/sanitaryware.

Thanks for this. Before this video I was getting seasickness whilst taking a Bertie. Now my visits to thunderbox are the calming, sedate events a gentleman has come to look forward to once more.

[@daveellison6335]

Thanks for this - I was fiddling underneath to look for some wing nuts. Without your video, I wouldn't have had a chance.

[@snowboardingraptor7005]

Same here mate on the wing nut. I'm no fool but thought this tightens from under the cap. A check up on how I thought is was done and I was right. Took about 2mins. Bless utube.

Thank you!

Super. Thank you

[@tommyftw4996]

When changing a float valve on these toilets how do you take the cistern off? Do you have to pull the who pan out? Thanks

[@tracypettingale3784]

This is great info as I have been struggling to get the seat off. Thought I was there in fixing it, however when I go to tighten the screw on the Black circle, the screw is just going round and round and not tightening. Any ideas??

[@jayrusty2012]

Have u tried replacing the screw and see if that works ?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@LesMarco]

Thanks!!!

[@shirleve]

thanks so much. my seat doesn't click back on after... are my screws too far/too close apart?
also I think the screw that needs to be tightened needs to be close to the upright bit at the side of the circle?

[@NeilBlaiberg]

Thanks for this!
However, my issue is one of the posts has completely come out of the toilet, and can't see anything for the screw to grab on to. Any ideas?

[@chandrapatel8936]

Great video. Used it to tighten loose seat. However I'm commenting on the quality of Vitra. Under both metal caps there is corrosion. Makes the seat look dirty. Bought Vitra as i thought it was a branded. Which seats are better?

[@laetimp88113]

Thank you very much, I’ve been looking for a while, and the moving bezel is really disturbing.

[@katiedowns847]

The metal things that go on at the end keep slipping off now and again. Which means the seat ends up coming off when people are sat on the toilets sometimes. Any way to stop this happening??

[@lordblighty1]

Where is the water supply connected on this toilet - the back of the cistern or underneath the cistern?

[@jayrusty2012]

On the back.

Thanks for the video - I have to say though that it took me 1hr 45m to get those silver caps to slide off. Mine look like they've been mauled to within an inch of their lives now. Of course, it's a toilet seat so it's going to get cleaner on it, which corrodes the inside of the caps and effectively "welds" them to the plastic piece they slide onto. I'd never, ever buy any product by the makers of this seat as clearly, there's no thought involved in the design at all. Truly terrible.

[@leejames456]

Hi, i'm having the exact same problem - i can't remove the silver caps, they are stuck onto the seat fixings. Because i can't get the caps off, i can't get to the screw head to re-tighten the fixings to the basin. How on earth did you eventually get the caps off?!

[@jayrusty2012]

Chaps, i had the same problem initially; had to use a flat head screwdriver + WD40 + some elbow grease to get the damn thing off!
