This 8x7 garage door had cracks and did not have a strut on the top section. Many companies do not attach a strut to 8x7 doors....I'm not exactly sure why they don't do this especially when there is a garage door opener attached. The opener will pull on that top stile and eventually rip the rivots out, that can be prevented with a strut on the top section. The bottom section of this door also was  a bit bowed out because a car was backed into it. A second strut was placed on it to pull the panel straight.
