There is a good article on the C&C27 association web page about insulating with foam injected outside the liner along with bits of foam board where he could get at it. In a nutshell, the author drilled injection holes down through the counter top behind the ice box where no other access was possible and put down new laminate afterwards. - Plus the usual caveats about limiting the amount of foam applied at one time to avoid damaging pressure build up. If I recall correctly there is also data about the change in pounds per day of ice melt that resulted. It was a good result.
My worry with that method is that the toe rail might leak and the open cell foam from the spray cans might become permanently saturated. Maybe I am over thinking this?
