Great to hear it is still working. I on the other hand never think about this mod, that is just the way I like it
On a side/update note, hinge setup is working great and I have since had to dismantle the entire fridge (leaky condenser, all fixed, great customer service) Even if you slip disastrously and drill right through the fridge, you wont hurt anything.
The body is just foam insulation all the way to the inner plastic of the cooler, then there is the 1/4" gap, then the metal cooling tube surround. To damage the fridge you would somehow have to drill through the outer skin, through the foam, through the inner plastic skin, past the gap and into the metal cooling tube housing, and even then you would have to be lucky enough to actually hit one of the few coolant tubes.
if that makes you feel any better.
Happy drilling
