Use the window to close the door, then touch the nearest person to you on the nose!

I've had staticon several of my cars with cloth seats. Try this.

1 - Get some liquid fabric softener.
2 - Puta small amount, maybe a capful, into a spray bottle.
3 - Fill the spray bottle with water to dilute and shake well.
4 - Spraya small area of your seat that isn't very visibleand let dry overnight tomake sure it doesn't stain. It shouldn't.
5 - Spray the entire cloth seat and let dry overnight.

This solution seems to last about 6 months before the static comes back, then I just apply again. I've never had a problem with this staining my seats.

Good luck.
Sorry to be a ***** and all, but wouldn't it be a hell of a lot easier to just suck it up and get a little tingle then to go through all that?

My poor g/f get's the hell shocked out of her every time. I use the glass bottom of the glass near the base to close the door and I just save the charge for the cats...

not very practical but wearing an antistatic wrist strap connected to some ground inside your carwould do the trick, when driving in cold weather I just close the door with my hip, knee and then feel sorry for those patients subject to electroshock therapy, I wish I had the discharge every time I get a cigarette, I am pretty sure I'd be able to quit smoking.
