Static/shock

Anyone have the problem of getting shocked from your car? Lets just say about 90% of the time I get out of my car and close the door... the moment I touch my door, I get shocked! I even try it at nyte and I see the damm spark!!

I even got shocked from my windows!!! My Solaras tinted so I think that explains it...

I think the overall reasoning is cuz of my seat covers, but any way to reduce/eliminate this without removing my covers?

I saw this up on ebay:

have you grounded anything for power in those areas that keep shocking you. If so try relocating that ground and see if that works. If not then I really dont know. :drinking:

yea dude, i have that problem most often, and I don't have electrical mods/wiring done. Do you have cloth seats? I think thats the problem. When I wear fleece on my cloth seats, Im guaranteed to get shocked.

I agree. I think it is the seat covers/cloth seats. I have leather seats in my car and I never get shocked. Whenever I rent a car that has cloth seats, I have that problem. I would recommend some nice Sparco racing seats!

I used to have that problem a lot in Wisconsin (not soo much here in Texas).; I usually have both my feel on the ground ..and touch the PALM of my hand to the body of my car...that i think eliminates any chance of static buildup (a good advise if your fueling)...not nice to spark while fueling...

I don't have that problem, but my friend does! So that's what those Antennas are for HAHAHAHA

Nope... no wire grounding anywhere... yet

I dont think I wanna touch the bottom of my car every time I step out :-?
