Solution to Static on Front Seats - Toyota Yaris Forums

molinee · 06-12-2009, 08:16 AM

I have a 2007 LB that has black bucket seats. In getting in and out there is a lot of static. I tried putting a black towel down which stops all static but it keeps sliding off the seat. Anyone use some kind of cushion or after market cheap seat covers to stop a static problem? .... thanks

my wife and i get some serious static zaps whenever we get out of the car.

i think they make a grounding thing for this problem that you can buy ..anyone have the link?

there's nothing worse than when you go to turn the key and get zapped, haha

usually its when you get out of the car and touch the metal exterior.

never been zapped inside the car
