the door/hatch getting wedged into the opening does not mean it's providing structural support, the only part of the hatch that has an interference fit with the body itself is the catch pin at the bottom and the hinges at the top. It may provide some small amount of structural support in a slow twist of the body, but it's not keeping the back of the jeep together. whatever force is against it is all transferred to that pin at the bottom, and the assembly that latches onto it (which is held into fiberglass with rivets/screws). The 97+ may be a different story because of the metal hatch, but the earlier models? no way.
