Convertibles NEED subframes. Without them the door hinges take a lot of flexing and the hinges get loose and sloppy - open the door and pick up on the end of the door to see how much slop there is in the doors. My hinges were SO bad that the steel hinge at the bushing was worn to the point that a hinge kit (new bushings an pins) would not fix them.
