With that being said, and coupled with the fact that I tried everything you had put on here, I finally came up with another solution. I simply drilled a small screw into the bottom of the seat (of course it being one of the thicker kind of seats you can drill into) just deep enough to where the screw wouldn’t touch the toilet rim while the seat sits on the “bumpers” under the seat. I then attached a rubber band to the inside of the flush handle (inside the cistern) where a little loop of it hangs out (not too noticeable). From there, when you put up the toilet seat/lid, you simply loop the rubber band around the screw head on the bottom of the seat and it stays put. It cost me a screw and a rubber band, 2 minutes to install, but too much time being aggravated with no solution and failed research on the problem. I just wanted to share with you my solution so maybe it might help someone else eliminate some wasted time and frustration in the future. Thanks!
