The door braces that fit into the body on targa cars(pic below), what's their real purpose? Is it so that the door can align and shut better if you're parked on a very uneven surface with the targa out? Some say they are for overall structural integrity, but this doesn't seem useful, since any play in the front door hinges would not allow the doors to act as bracing.
I'm wondering because I installed non-targa car doors onto my targa car, as mine were rusty. I'm hoping they're not necessary!
