You have to pick the correct length of chord to get the tension, or tie a couple of knots to shorten the elastic.
Feed the hook in at the bottom of the rack from the inside of the rack to the ouside, so the metal spiral does not sit between the pannier and the rack.
Ah, I think I follow you now... it's definitely not how I was doing it. I'll give your version a try tonite.

I think the lock end is a bit heavier, but not by much. The way I've got it secured now, it comes just even with the back end of the rack.
