Good for leveling the toilet seat with bidet

This product is good for leveling the toilet seat when you have the bidet installed, which may cause the back of the toilet seat to rise and bend/break. Seat or discomfort due to the sloping seat. These pads come with strong adhesive on the back, but after seeing mixed reviews about how long the adhesive lasts, I wanted a more permanent solution (although you do get additional replacement adhesive). My permanent solution was to screw the spacers into place. This is pretty easy to do yourself if you have a wooden toilet seat by following the 7 steps below. (Step 1 - Screws) First, find screws at the hardware store that fit the inner tubes of the long plastic spacers (you can see them in the product images, they look like the bottom of a lego for reference). These screws need to be short enough that they don't go through the seat or come out the side of the seat! (Step 2 - Remove the Adhesive) Remove the adhesive from the gaskets (clean the gasket if necessary). (Step 3 - Change spacers) Use a drill or dremel to drill a hole in the bottom of the tubes so the screw goes through easily but stops and holds the screw head (you don't want the screws to cut into the plastic how to do this (Step 4 โ€“ Placement of the Gaskets) Position the gaskets on the underside of the seat in the desired location and use a pencil to mark the location of all the holes made in Step 3 (Step 5 โ€“ Drilling) by Using the marks made in step 4, drill pilot holes in the wooden toilet seat (make sure they don't go through, the pilot holes should be shorter than the length of the screws.) (step 6 - installation) screw in the gaskets with a screwdriver directly on the bottom of the toilet seat (do not overtighten! the seat and plastic gaskets only need to be h).(Step 7. Modes rubber bumper fication) In a typical installation, the gray rubber bumpers have cylindrical inserts that fit into the spacer tubes and are flat. They are held firmly in place by friction (see fig. product images). However, with this DIY, the screw heads on the underside of the tubes interfere with the correct installation of the rubber cylinders. To fix this use a pair of scissors/knife and cut the bottom of the rubber cylinder to make room for the screw heads (I suggest cutting off a small amount and then checking the fit and repeating again if necessary) . (Step 8 - optional) If you want the rubber bumpers to be permanent you can use silicone glue to glue them in place, but after a few months I still haven't had a problem with them falling off.
