Default lol whoa

I just picked up a 05 GT 2 days ago & tonight I had a little scare. This is my 4th time driving the car (not including test drive). I came to work, parked, & opened the door. Just as I opened the door, the window jumped down about 1 centimeter! I was like WTF......is something broke? Then realization kicked in once I shut the door & the window jumped back up. Kinda wierd how the upper door seal hangs over the window. It freaked me out because I never owned/heard of a car doing this.

It has something to do with equalizing the pressure in the car, I think. Probably also helps b/c there isn't a frame around the top of the window, it's just glass.

1.) empty you cup holders

2.) place index finger in fron cup

3.) slide index finger back through opening between cupholders until you feel a tab

4.) lift up on tab

5.) enjoy your new hiding place

look in your cupholder closest to your armrest. now look down inside it. the bottom is not really the bottom. there's a tab you can grab a hold of that sits between the two cup holders. pull up on the tab (which is part of the fake bottom of the rear cup holder) and the bottom comes out and reveals an even deeper cup holder! lol
