I understand 'your' goals... my personal concern for the cross support is not for a leg sticking out/in, or tree limb coming in, it is from a side hit from another vehicle and it seems the addition of 1 cross support would mitigate that to an extent. adding that I doubt would effect #1 (just 1 tube will not block view) or #2 (adding 1 tube would not make it harder to close 1 handed) and certainly not #3 (as I have seen others with 1 extra support and they also look cool like yours do). I think the 1 thing it would affect is weight.
do not get me wrong... I like them and, as you recall from my PM, wanted to look at buying them but for the hinge issue for me and others without a pair of door side hinges sitting around, it is just something I think and feel when I look at that larger than expected void.

- actually and it just stuns me that as of 2007, 1 company is actually now producing them. starting just this month.
to make them since last year. but if you follow the other Tube Door threads (under Vendor and here in 40 tech), no real admitted activity on his end on this in awhile. those 1 set you see are his first prototype, but no actual production to sell. they are on his website yes, but not in production.
happens you could never expect or account for. i errant projectile item through that large of a space.. maybe. who knows. but a I said, I just do not see the downside.
