[QUOTE="GO-N DEF, post: 1473844, member: 564681"] Its just static electricity caused by the friction between your clothes and the material of your seats. Mine can get so bad that it shocks me through a leather coat with a liner. They have proven that the static build up has caused a few fires at the fuel pumps like mattf was talking about. Its more prominent with women since thay have a tendancy to start pumping gas and then get back into the car. When they get out, they've built up enough static to produce a spark the first time the come in contact with metal. That metal is usually the pump handle and since the fumes are being pushed out of the tank by fuel entering it... BOOM. Spark+Oxygen+Volitile Fumes = A Bad Day![IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/lightning.gif.3313d59263b518d6d89ddcbfead237d0.gif[/IMG] You might try taking a fabric softener sheet and rubing it all over the seat. It keeps the static cling down in your clothes, so it should work on the seats too... [/QUOTE]
