Well I used this technique and it worked, not sure what's causing the zapping but at least for the time being I can exit the car without getting a slight shock.

Could my recent connection of a battery maintainer be the cause?

Thanks again,
Mike

I doubt it. Just static charge probably from cold dry air. I bet it goes away once you get some spring weather.

Those static straps look like something that was popular in Australia a few years ago.Copper braid attatched to the chassis that dragged on the tarmac.Supposedly helped with migraines and a myriad of other random maladies (So I was told.Coulda been getting my chain yanked)
