When we've cleaned plastic surfaces (e.g. with alcohol) prior to use, we've done pretty well. Duallock is nearly 1/4" thick when engaged. If that's not enough, a fairly light spacer (such as a piece currogated plastic sign board) in the mix should be able to fill the gap.
Are the feet big enough to stick a decent-sized piece of Velcro or similar onto?

Can the feet be removed safely (and legally--but that part will have to wait until next season)?
