Q:How does the duct fasten to the vent? The cable tie seems inadequate and flimsy to secure the duct to the vent without it slipping off or eventually coming loose in time. Is there a better method to attach the duct to the vent besides a cable tie?

A: It does not. When you remove the shingle where the vent is placed, save and use the two nails. Don't forget your roofing cement/tar.
