It's the nylon seat covers cos they build up static, I hate it too, but if you earth yourself on the door whilst stepping out this will usually stop it, when I was younger I worked at DJ's & we used to scuff around on the nylon carpet & build up a heap of volts then tap the customer on the shoulder, you'd get a half inch spark & scare the crap out of them, or better still hand them a metal pen:ohmy:

I have the problem I am where suit pants.
But most of the time its ok.

If you wear rubber soles, you should be sweet

And stop wearing the Cappa clothes

I think mythbusters proved that and mobile phones to be BUSTED! Static will not cause the car to blow up. Had to be alot more than that. From memory, they had a vanderbelt (?) to create static and it still wouldnt do it.

I get static all the time esp in dry winters like this one we are having, I always just use the glass to shut the door and never touch the metal of the car when getting out. It doesnt help tho when I go to open the door to my house with a metal handle

Easy solve as you get out of the car hold something metal or slide your leg on the side of ur car as you get out so that you and the car are at the same potential.

Camo.

I agree with d_generate it could also be the cloths you wear from what they are made of. My folks allways get shocked from there Pathfinder and I never do on it. We think the material of our cloths as they are different (generally) so some create static easier. But its probably best to go witht hat genuine part it doesnt look that bad compared to the bit of rubber tht hangs off the back of the car they look like s**t. I had one and took it off overall I have been zapped once out of the many many times I have got in and out of it.

I found i stopped being zapped about the same time as i ceased wearing lycra bodysuits regularly..... Coincidence perhaps?

What works is to touch the door sill or other metal part of the car with your hand before you get out and keep it firmly attached until after all of you is out. Then let go. No static. The RX was terrible for this - its that cheap chintzy fabric they use - but I never got zapped with that technique.
