Any one tell me how to stop getting a belt off the car when I get out. Its ok till I touch the body work then crack, It even sparked tonight. Thing is It just came back from the garage today so could they have overlooked something?

I get it all the time mate, think it's something to do with the polyester (synthetic) car mats. You can get either those great (hmm eighties style) static electricity dischargers - but they look kinda out of place on a scoob.....

or u can do what I do... shut the door only by touching the glass (which is easy as they're frameless) and use a housekey to discharge the charge (it usually works on the door lock itself)....sorted..

stop wearing nylon/polyester pants ..............alternatively ensure you are touching part of the bodywork when you get out, thus grounding yourself. Works for me.

The other half gets it from my passenger door nearly every time she is in the car, but *touch wood* I have yet to get a shock off my side?
