But it should move with the rod while stationary. With it glued to the top assembly, the rod is pulling at it with each up and down movement of the shock...thousands of times, literally. And then you have all the water(rain--wet roads) and dirt working against any adhesive under there.

It would be better to be able to put something on the shock piston(rod) itself, very high up(so that it can't interfere with shock piston compression)...maybe a snap ring or even a small band of adhesive there. Something to keep the dust boot from falling down.
