Learn to accept one of the fundamental rules of bike touring:
With enough time on the road, all fasteners will eventually be replaced by zip ties.
Use a [reusable zip tie](https://www.amazon.com/Reusable-VTECHOLOGY-Releasable-Adjustable-100Pack/dp/B07R2JKWXV?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qJhZlr12clLwbNKMykoc0hA68qBsxYwLAluCcI5YbLvi6nEuEOO-674f0tnIqvZgdE_8dV6hsIs2uf3GRqX74YQUYMjfUuM246OamxOqwevQLVs4Yh3DMpG7DbJMNsxno4PhnzBMObcuxir90gXcstbpjkx-dhqFqMqoL_4v0Wmp-zJFqPR2Ds14y3AF_n3yz_df6vLp4KQX9XbiiwbAcZLlBX708VlKbb7AmnJ0IUI.nhQrYJ-PhZf-MnvyWki5wRMEi5X2MTqkYteY8XErWZA&dib_tag=se&keywords=reusable+zip+ties&qid=1740683343&sr=8-3) or 3.
