Matt, static wicks and grounding won't work on the e-glass 360s.  If you 
have a carbon version, that's different of course.  My experience (related 
here some time ago) is that static is a problem in WLS primer and in 
snow.  I had the same problem Scott K had (noise in the headsets, auto 
pilot kicking off, even the VMS 1000 EC unit displaying garbage, noise on 
the strikefinder, etc.) Since I've painted the airplane, I've had similar 
trouble in moisture laden clouds and rain (the AP kicked off).  This is the 
S-TEC 50 unit.  I've only had one problem with the radios, a dead spot over 
central Pennsylvania where Center can hear me, but I cannot hear them.  I 
attribute this to a weak transmitter on their part (wishful thinking?).

Anyway, keep a close eye on that AP when in clouds, rain, snow.  The two 
times is went off line for me, the plane was trimmed and I did not feel it 
with the usual cloud bumps.
