I dont believe they have an inner brace, i think its just an achor in the door where the bolt goes.

I don't remember for sure, so this is just a guess here, but I believe they do. The upper part of the door is flimsy and needs all the support it can get. Even the little sport mirrors have a support bracket.

Again, just a guess.
