There is a massive super structure in the convertible where the crossmember and tubs go. It is 3 layers thick. Something has to be put in place to replace the support, or they fold up. As I have said before, I have seen a car that could not open the door after a day of launching at the track. We watched the car twist all day,(it was a 8.0 second 1/8 mile car running 335s and NOT dead hooking, so it was not a big HP monster with slicks) many commented, and when the day was over it took someone in the rear seat kicking the door while someone else outside pulled with everything they had. Then 2 thick washers had to be removed from the striker to allow the door to close pourly.
