Like a zip tie but easy to remove?
Is there anything like a zip tie except easy to remove (and cleaner looking would be nice)? I just put a scratch in the front of my right valve cover when the knife slipped...FML.

And no, I did not know that about the release button.

These fucking Germans man, they have zip-tie locations all over this engine bay. They want everything to be zipped up nice und neat. They went so far as to put little zip tie mounting points in a few of the zip-tie spots so you're not just tying the cables together but tying them to a bolted on mount point.
If you include the ties that I'm currently missing because I cut them, I'd say my car has about 10-15 zip ties in the engine bay. IIRC, there's even a proprietary one that has a plug on the back of it that plugs into a hole in the engine bay.
