A few weeks ago I also discovered that Lowes sells those plastic clips in their misc. hardware section. Home Depot probably does, too.

How are you people having zip-ties fall off? Do you know how to use them? Are you not getting locking ties?

when i tried to go sri, i put that back on and used zip ties, no problems what so ever, there's no chance that it would come off, unless it was not locked and clipped backwards
