Insulating 3-way refrigerator

I went out last week in my 2020 TAB 400. My 400 is equipped with a 3-way refrigerator. I also have the underspeced Air8 AC so I am always looking for ways to keep the cabin temperatures down. There is a 1/4” X 20” gap between the top of the refrigerator and the top of the cabinet opening. When the cabin fan is set to exhaust hot air coming off the refrigerator heat exchanger can be sucked through the ¼” gap. I was surprised how much hot air can come through that small gap. I stuffed the gap with weather stripping and it stopped most of the hot air flow. Its not a major issue but does improve efficiency. This was a field fix so the next time I have the 400 at the house I will look for a better way of insulating the refrigerator.
