The reason this happens is because you brush your shirt or coat on the fabric of the seat and create a charge. The reason you get shocked is because when you touch something that conducts electrisy like metal for example. The metal. serves as a ground and a way for the charge to leave your body Mystique 98 ls T-red MTX B&G springs Turbendz y-pipe (running test pipe) Trubendz cat back with flowmaster muffler Costume intake with K&N filter B&M shifter Magstar wires

That was great... really, it was. When I had cloth seats I found that if I held onto the door for a second instead of letting go right away it helped. You still get shocked, but it's not as noticable. 2000 Mystique LS Duratec 2.5L MTX

I will try some scotchguard perhaps. If I hold on to the metal part of the door as it opens, I dont get it (do to the immediate ground) but its a pain to open the door that way. It really smarts to when it happens. Anyway Thanks guys!!!!
