Remove Norcold 2way fridge from 2014 T@b 320 Clamshell

Trying to remove Norcold NR740BB AC/DC fridge. Removed side screws and plastic grid underneath, and fridge slides easily until the two mounting rails underneath hit the deck of the bumper. The rails sit 1/8 to 1/4” below that deck, and there is not enough room at the top of the cabinet opening to lift the unit out. The rail seems to be secured by screws inserted through the bottom of the rail, making them inaccessible. An engineer friend who designs, builds and repairs equipment tried his hand at it, but cannot see a clear way to remove this fridge short of cutting out the cabinet panel above it. Any suggestions? Photos attached with green arrows indicating the obstruction.

First thing I'd try is to "manhandle" the fridge and see if it can be tilted enough to get it out. Otherwise remove the sill cover and see if that gains some space.

I took the fridge out of my 2014 CS-S 2 years ago. You do need to take the top plate off of the bumper to slide it out. As I remember, just removed a few screws, no big deal. I replaced mine with a Yeti cooler on heavy duty slide out. Love it!!

DM me if you have any trouble 😁

Finally took the sill cover off and had a strong friend tilt it and pull it out. It was a bear. I like that pull out cooler. Thinking of getting a 12V portable fridge for long camping trips.

My refrigerator was mounted with four screws on the sides. The following instructions are for my 2018, but it looks like the same Norcold unit. Open the door. On each side there are two plastic plugs covering the mounting screws. With the four screws removed, the refrigerator lifts over the lip at the front and slides out. The wiring was long enough to set the refrigerator on the edge of the open hatch. Have a helper reach around and unplug the unit.
