i got to the gm performance seat and i cant stand it, by the time get get out of the car the seat has charged me with static i guess. i get a nice wake up pop when i grab the door. anyone else get them same? and is there something i can do to correct it?

 

I get that much static getting out of mine with the standard seat.

 

I used to get that with the leather seats I have, so I think it might be the carpet when the vehicle is new. Now that the HHR is a little older, the zapping has gone away.

 

How bad I get zapped, depends on what shoes I am wearing.

 

those rubber static straps.

 

I have the same thing happen when I get out of my HHR too. It just started happening about 4 months ago and it drives me nuts. My old Trailblazer used to do the same thing. I sold it because it irritated me so much.

 

I have the standard shocking seat.

 

I have the cloth seats and have yet to get shocked.

 

Try attaching a small length of chain to your shoes for grounding.

 

Tim you are killing me LOL. I personally have never had this problem. But seeing as I like to wear long pieces of chain attached to my shoes..it could not be more convenient, Thanks for the tip. Todd(Uma)
