holding on to the door as you get out, like you mentioned.

Well I'm going to try that static guard and if that doesn't work the static
straps. I'll keep you posted as to what works. This thing is really
annoying me. My previous Dodge, a Ramcharger (w/ cloth) didn't have this
problem and all the VWs I've had never had it either(cloth seats too). My
girlfriend and her dad say it's a CC thing. I guess they're right- it's
all they've ever driven.
