The seals survive as they have a very large area at which the forces are applied over hence low pressure.
Nope, its the frame AROUND the door. The A pillar B pillar and C pillar have forces, the door itself doesn't. Like i said, if anywhere its ONLY between where the door hinge and the lock mechanism is. Which is like i said: exactly where he removed the reinforcement. (Which is only necessary as a protrusion bar anyway)
