At first, it slipped when I rode over a bump, flipping the back down as far as it would go. Cranking down the bolt didn't fix it completely.

I ended up using some wet-and-dry sandpaper on both halves to roughen the curved surfaces, probably 180 or 240 grit, and a coating of Tacx Carbon Assembly Paste -- that was a tube of gel with plastic grit in the gel. (I still have the tube, 20 years later!) Assembly paste is great for aluminum stems to aluminum handlebars, too.
