You have to drill holes. This is not a common solution.

Don't be fooled. It is not easy to fix a resin toilet seat. The problem is that the two pieces that hold the ring together also form end caps on the bars. The holes in the existing seat match the holes in the end caps. just great. However, you will find that the end caps are made at an angle to the stem and assembly is simply impossible. The end caps do NOT go through the shaft (tube). So you're saying why not just drill new holes in the resin seat? Some resins are easy to work with. A little soft, and the included aggressive set screws bite into the pilot hole, which needs to be drilled very carefully to keep it from popping out through the top of the seat. Other resin seats are as hard as glass. Do you notice those old screws? They are similar to machine screws, flat-bottomed, pointless, and have threads that you can put a nut on. Taaaaaaaa, are you planning to drill a pilot hole and just screw in a screw that looks like wood? Uh-uh. Will not happen. You will need to blind drill this hole and tap to align with the machine screw threads. Try using this screw and you will hear and see the top layer of resin begin to crack and peel off. Next you'll need a clamp, very thin CA, and any repairs you're hoping your wife will make. I do not see. This isn't the best product unless you have a wooden seat that allows you to move the screws around as you please.
