I looked at a Mustang convertible once that had so much floorboard rot that
the passenger side door was pinched shut and would no longer open. My guess
is that if it was opened, the car would have folded in half. That's why the
support from underneath is so much more important on convertibles.

John is correct - that's why 'verts have always been called "wiggle
wagons" in Detroit. The most notorious was when the F body 'vert was
built by American Sunroof (ASC). They took production hardtops and cut
the roof off and installed a ragtop without doing any stiffening work. I
think ASC did this to BMW's, too, but they did quite a lot more
structural work.
