The seat on my new AD6 won't stay level. Any tips?

Have you looked at the bolt underneath the seat? Make sure that is lined up with grooves and really tight. Hope this helps.

I've had the same problem too but unfortunately haven't found a solution. Sorry.

My AD6 took several tightenings of the seat clamp to get it to quit slipping. Use a breaker bar with the appropriate socket for good leverage.

You have to tighten the nut very, VERY tightly, and the act of doing so has a tendency to tilt the seat forward a bit, so start with it tilted slightly back. It's not a really comfortable seat-I'm thinking about replacing it with something different.

A wrench is needed to tighten the appropriate bolts holding the seat. Should solve the problem.

I can't get the fitting foot ring to slide down the post. I tried WD 40 and it still won't go past a few inches. In the illustration it is about halfway between the seat bottom and the base. What should I do?

There should be a tab on the extreme left of the cup holder. Move this tab to the right to adjust the height. I hope this will help you.

I don't have this issue, but check around where it snaps down, is anything in the way (tall screw head, etc)? Is the seat positioned correctly? Worst case, if you call Kohler and explain the issue, they usually fix your problem. Which may include shipping you a new seat. I have 3 of these in my house, and all work great for me.

Have you made sure it is on a level surface? I had that issue once but realized it was in between two uneven tiles. I moved it to a different area of the bathroom, recalibrated, and it's fine now. Hope that helps!

I have had this happen a couple of times, thinking it was broken. However, there are two things you can do. First, just twist the chair's frame a little to loosen things up. Also, for a long term solution, spray some WD-40 on and down the tubes that normally slide the seat up and down. The tubes just got a little twisted and have a lot of friction inside the other tubes - add lubrication. Good Luck!

If you have the same model, as I did, you have broken the plastic piece, that makes it go up, and down. To get it fixed, was $130:00. You will have to have a professional look at it. I am sorry you are experiencing the same problem. Joannie Mattoon

I have the same problem. I just installed a new seat on my Eljer toilet. I tried using the metal washers in all three positions, to no avail. The seat will not stay up. I called tech support, but they said the only adjustment is the metal washers. Not sure of my next move--I put the old yellowed, faded seat back on.Update: Amazon sent me a replacement and I am having the same problem: Lid stays up fine, but the seat will not stay in the up position! No Adjustments that I can see---moving slotted washers does nothing. I guess I will send this one back and get a non self closing lid.

I would contact the manufacturer. Ours is still solid as a rock and we've had it for almost a year. Perhaps a defect in the construction. From other comments I've read about this bench the seller is prompt and courteous in responding to problems with their product. They may just ship you another one. Worth a try.

I would try loosening the mounting screws, and ensure that it is seated level in the lock hole. Are both handles not level?

Hi Helena, I guess theres no trick...too much of muscle power..I had this problem, i somehow forced it into the base and it is stuck forever now i guessthe two side bars went inside the middle one is out...but its locked

I just dropped the seat down a couple notches to a level that is comfortable. I think the instructions say to keep it at the higher notch, but it works fine if you lower it.

I believe you're supposed to keep it more reclined (there is a leveler line on the base), more like an infant seat. Besides, if you make it more upright, there is nowhere for the legs to go.

Yes, I just got my bike and the seat wobbles a lot. I crammed some cardbd in where it appeared to be wobbling, but it only improved a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Sorry you're having trouble. I hope this helps: the little tabs on the bottom of each leg unscrew so it has stability... Maybe adjusting the tabs so it's completely stable will prevent it from tipping over? I personally do just fine shavings legs, but I've made mine very level

I have never experienced this issue and I have two of these seats! Hopefully someone else has some suggestions for you.
