Electric shock

[Rikki Kitto]

Any ideas why I keep getting fairly nice static shocks getting out of the car and touching the door, the missus thinks I've developed Tourette's when I keep shouting c*** everytime I get out the car

Hi
One could say clothing, undergarments....in away.....but any sort of man made fabrics can build up static charge........(one reasons people self ignite at fuel stations, and not mobile fones).

Have you changed your range of clothing????

Hope you get problem sorted

cheers

I second the footwear idea. Sometimes I can hear the faint tick sound of static from my hand when I approach my S2's door. It only happens when wearing one particular pair of shoes.

Same happens to me, don't touch metal part of Dior and I'm ok!

Was that a ruber piece?If so,4 tires on the ground are not ok?

Was that a ruber piece?

He was thinking this
rubber strip from rear bumper

every other car had one of those strips back when I was a lad in the 80s,whats changed so cars dont need them now?

It's not the car storing up a static charge. It's us, wearing our shoes that are static insulators. The shock happens when we touch the vehicle and earth out little hands at the door handle.
