The problem is clearance both up and down.  If I lower the plate that the
seats sit on that the poor minifigs are suspended in the observation dome by
their arms.

The crux of the problem is the use of the 2x6x2/3 slope element
(http://img.lugnet.com/ld/2875.gif).

The Metroliner uses this part for the roof structure and to keep my add-on
cars consistent with the rest of the Metroliner, I did to.  Using these
creates a two stud gap for the minifigs to sit in.  Since their arms and
torsos are wider than two studs it creates a dilema.  I'll have to see if I
can address the minifig comfort issue but for now, no hats!

I drew up the roof with ML-CAD real quickly and posted it on Brickshelf.
You can see how the roof assembly goes together.
