Just picked up an '06 GT (doesn't say Limited on it anywhere, but it seems to be the loaded one) for the wife last weekend, and I'm addressing the little used car annoyances as I find them. Did a little reading here and didn't see anything about this, the problem is the rear cup holder. When we were looking at the car it was just sort of sitting in the hole loosely, fell out when I touched it. Only took a second to figure out how to get it clipped back in how it belongs (or so I thought), as it seems to work properly now except for the fact that it doesn't stay closed tight. It hangs out about a half inch, and eventually flops open again while driving around. I assume there is some sort of spring clip or friction point worn out or broken off, but nothing appears to be missing anywhere, I can't see what is supposed to hold it closed. What am I looking for?

It's a pretty common for the spring to come dislodged because its weak-though-you can't get just that part-you would have to replace the entire cup holder-or tape it up-which I have seen due to the cost-you might be able to find a used one that hasn't be "abused"
