I have done some things to make my Engel fridge better. I thought I would share them, for those searching for solutions. It's nothing that fancy, but puts some info in one spot.
First. I bought mine on the spot at McGuckin Hardware in Boulder Colorado. After searching the web, I decided the M45 was the one for me. Every place on the web I found it it was $799. I wanted to take a look at it before buying and I was suprised to find that McGuckin Hardware had one in stock!

I went straight there and they were selling it for $699!!! Yippee!! I took it home. So...here's what I have done.
The lid always slipped off and I was complaining about that in another thread. "hoser" clued me in to a cheap little product Engel makes to fix the problem. It works great!

Here it is installed.
I also wanted a way to keep soda and beer cans stacked up separately from the food area. I had some left over plastic-covered shelving and cut at peice to fit. I used the little rubber end caps and they put enough friction to hold the shelf in place.
Then I bought baskets for the top area. The divider below is right in line with the spot between the two shelf, so it works perfect for removing only one basket, depending on what you want. I can't find the link to buy them right now, but I will edit this with that info soon. sorry...
Next I am going to get a small thermometer to put inside.
