I always get static zaps when I get out of cars, any type of cars, is there something wrong with myself or just that cars have this due to the carpet or seat fabric or electrical discharges? Usually I get it from touching metal door handles or even the body just to avoid it. Is it the rubber soles on my shoes, but I still get it wearing leather soled shoes. Now I am driving either a Corolla, a Camry or 2 Benzs, C180s and still get the zaps. I have bought the static discharge strap to string to the ground somewhere under the back of the car which I have seen on quite a few cars. Does this actually work???? Theoretically I think it does, BUT? In motion, it just flies off ground due to its flat shape against the wind, so doesn't affect the car in any way. However, when you stop the car, the metal contacts and strap end falls to the ground and supposedly releases the static to be discharged into the road, if that is true. Now does this work the same in dry or wet conditions? I now have sheepskin seat covers for the front seats which have acrylic back pieces for stretching to fit and my rear seats are only with full acrylic seat covers because the sheepskins are too thick and unstretchable and cannot fit into the backseat 2 panels. Will this make it worse or no difference? Thanks guys for all your previous experiences of this daily nuisance.
