Installing expensive new bemis soft close toilet set and before I have finished, the seat squeaks loudly on closing but not the lid. What do I do?

Hello len_moon, Look under plumbing in your yellow pages for a Kohler distributor. Also here is the web page for you part numbers. You will need the hinge assembly. Copy and Paste to your address bar. Hope it helps!

the mechanism may be broken. call the manufacturer it should have a lifetime warranty.

SOURCE: What toilet seat hinge replaces

The hinges and bumpers on plastic seats are not replaceable. The bumpers are molded in and the hinges are installed with special tools while the plastic is still warm.
Sorry but that's way Bemis does things and is way most good Plumbing shops will not buy or sell them.
They were not like that untill they started having their seats made in China however this may help you http://www.bing.com/shopping/search?q=bemis+toilet+seat+replacement+parts&FORM=HURE
