Double check the contact top alignment to make sure they match the originals.  If they're out of line slightly, operation will be erratic.  Also, make sure the wiring in the car and both the slider and pickup wheels are clean.

Erratic operation is exactly what is happening.  I have already tried bending the base plates ever so slightly in order to keep the tops of the contact rails up as high as possible.  But what I noticed is that the contact rail piece is sloping toward one end.

I think I might try to bolster the contact rails from below.  I'll have to put a piece of tape on the bottom portion of the contact rail piece to keep it from shorting on the center rail.
