So the e-track is directly under each tire? That's another way to strap it down. Run the strap up over each tire as if wrapping it around the circumference of the tire. But you've got to make sure the tires are directly on top of the e-track. The straps I showed are called "California roll back" type according to the tow truck supply place I bought mine. The main strap just makes a loop around the top portion of the tire. It's pretty easy to do in cramped quarters. If you wanted to do something like that you can get hooks that lock into e-track and provide a metal loop for you to attach the roll back straps to. Or, are you using some sort of frame hook? Don't forget to stop after a few/several miles and check the tension. Also, make sure the car is in neutral and no parking brake.
