Another thing I noticed yesterday was that there is an added on protuberance where the upper part of the inside of the rear of the door meets the body. It is a triangular shaped piece (see picture) that matches up with a notch inside the door. I do not know if it has something to do with enhancing rigidity or has to do with side impact protection (helps keep the door in place during impact). Maybe something else. Ideas anyone?

This is a pic of a 997, which has it as well.

There is a reinforcement in the door. In the event of a front crash the force goes to the door and then to the rear of the car via that thing that sticks out.
