Hi folks, sorry to have to post this but we got a new bathroom a few months ago and the toilet seat was loose at one side. The cistern is integrated and the seat is top-fixing. I assumed it was quick release but couldn't find a button to push, there are no little grommit hidden screws or anything like that. The large chrome bits on each side do not push in (I'd thought that was the mechanism but it does nothing), and the little dimples you can see aren't hiding a small hole hiding a screw, they are just indents in the chrome.

So I thought, maybe it just needs pulled up. Didn't move. Pulled harder. Ended up just pulling out the bolt at one side.

Anyway, wrestled the whole thing off, but for the life of me I still can't work out how you remove the seat to access the bolts under the chrome cap.

I've no idea what the brand of the seat/toilet is, and endless YouTube searching hasn't thrown up one with a similar fixing. All are just straightforward push and lift mechanisms.

Anyone any ideas? And sorry my first post here is something so pathetic!!
