I want to put a microwave in my 97 but when I opened the door the space is super shallow! Can someone give me the dimension of their compartment along with photos of the space. I was going to build the slid out platform that my 94 has but I think I need to move the back wall of the compartment some.

It may not go much deeper - I think in 1997 they started putting the roof vents above the fridge so they'd work better. That vent is behind your microwave, I think. Would a dorm-sized microwave fit?

The space is only 9.5" deep. Even with it sticking out like the pics I've seen of 97+ Bs it would need to be 2-5 inches deeper. I know my 94 has no wall behind the microwave. When I fixed the fridge I alum taped and insolated the space better then when it came from the factory. I am wondering if the 97 up had the same set up. I think there is plenty of room between the wall and back of compartment for plenty of air movement for the fridge. Some pics of a 97+ would help me in the engineering department.
