The thickness of both roofs at the clam interface is no thicker than the rubber gaskets used to mate them to the clam... so it really doesn't seem that there would be any practical benefit to fettling the roof.

Without changing the external dimensions of the roof or the clam, I think I've gone about as far as possible be fettling alone. If I were designing the roof and the clam from scratch, I'd definitely make the "mohawk" cross section wider and/or taller.
