Any concern about the urethane adhesive getting on the strut piston? That's a highly polished piece for a reason, and the dust boot is supposed to keep dirt from getting on the exposed portion of the piston and then down at the seal.

So I'd be a little concerned about excess glue on the rod damaging the seal if it travels that far. I wouldn't want it applied on the top of the dust boot if it's as low on the rod as in that first pic. Maybe more sparingly on the glue and with the boot already in place very near the top of the strut.
