There are two(2) nuts under the outside edge of rim of bowl(bottom section)right in front of tank. use fingers to tighten, and pliers to secure. If it will not tighten, then the posts molded in are loose, requiring replacement. Sometimes even if new on these types.

The cams are worn out inside of seat or it may be to lose you have to tighten up the seat if there is any adjustments if not it is worn out replace toilet seat.

Tighten the seat by holding nuts on the underside of the bowl and taken a screwdriver and put it in the slots on top of seat under the caps that just pop off.

You need to replace or clean the 1150464 HINGE KIT http://www.kohlerserviceparts.kohler.com/AccessoriesInformation.aspx?ServicePartID=5563b058e2e042868c7a19398797ecd6

Hi,
Right behind the bowl on the underside there is a nut on either side that holds the seat on...tighten those nuts and it will tighten down the seat...

You need to check with Kohler 1-800-4-KOHLER they might offer it they keep changing service parts on us

Each soft close 'Barrel' is handed - one left - one right. (One is grey - the other white).

Most soft close errors occur because the seat hinges come loose. When this happen, the barrels slightly pull-out of the seat. (There are silver discs on the barrels - These should be tight against the seat).

Once the barrels become loose the first thing that happens is the top cover won't soft close - but the seat still does.

To rectify - puch both barrels tighly into fitting and tighten the hinges. (See below).

To tighen the seat hinges you need to get a flat headed screwdriver underneath the chrome round hinge cover - and 'flick off'. Underneath is a X head screw which id also hexagonal. You can either tighen both by spanner - or screw driver. (sometimes these can be tricky - but it will come off).

If both cover AND seat do not soft close AND the barrel silver discs are firmly located against the seat - the barrel has probably broken.

If so - spare parts can be obtained here:
