I redid it with plastic gutter guard and took the 2 sided tape off the zip tie blocks and gorila glued them down.
With the efforts put into getting the zipties in the holes and wrapped. I would not want to do this twice! Anyone who does this....USE GORILLA GLUE.

4 sheets alumunimu gutter guard: 10
gorilla glue: 4
zip ties: 4
ziptie blocks: 6
fine grit sand paper: 2

You could lower the cost if you have any of the needed parts laying around your garage.
