Hey Gee_Emm, I'll give it a shot.

Operating with hard top removed may allow tub flex, which could exert additional stress to door attachment points. The added support plate, you have questioned, should increase structural integrity therefore reducing failure rate.

Hope this helps.

Yep, you need the plate if you plan on driving with the top off or off road or both.

THE POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO CUT DOWN TRUCK DOORS FOR A BLAZER, WITHOUT PUTTING IN REINFORCING PLATES FROM BLAZER DOORS OR ELSE YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO TAKE YOUR TOP OFF OR GO OFFROAD. I'M SURE THAT THEY WOULD BE STRONGER WITH THEM, & IT'S NO DOUBT A GOOD IDEA.......BUT NOT MANDITORY. ALSO THE DOORS THAT I USED WERE COMPLETELY RUSTFREE, WITH NO SPEAKER HOLES.
