Rectangle holes on rear pillars...do i need them?

I am cleaning up and painting etc...Wondering what these holes are for and if I need them for anything? What are you guys doing with them? Would it be fine to weld them shut?

Also...The seam on the roof toward the back of burbs...any problems that arise from welding that up?

The rectangle holes are for the other option on the doors. If you have the clam shell, your hinges are in the top and bottom set of hinge points, and with barns, the hinges are on the right and left pillars.

Ahh...Gotcha. So If I never want barn doors then I can close them up.
