I've seen people use hose clamps. I'm not sure that's the best way, but it sure beats zipties.

They sell different sizes of these U clamps. They should work if you can find a size that fits.

How does one use zipties to mount a roof rack? And WHY would one even use them to mount a roof rack? Youre supposed to use duct tape.
