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.

You can remove the little black rubber widgets but I wouldn't modify the plastic housing... or maybe I would... I haven't decided what we're going to do yet.

They are tall enough that engagement of velcro on a flat surface is not ideal. A spacer is a good idea.

EDIT: Removed duallock hypothesis since Mark says that it is a no-go below.
