UNI-Filter security

I have UNI filter on my Aero 125.
the first RED OUTER SLEEVE disappeared without reason.
I wondered if it was "lifted" by an unscrupulous passer-by,
or did it just get flung into the universe by the massive air pressure created by Ruby's blazing speed.
Either way, and now, a SECOND sleeve has managed to wriggle it's way free.
ANY suggestions to secure this sleeve to the filter body and end this exodus of expensive foam cylinders ??

Greetings:
Yeah, the red bit tends to blow off randomly. I once tried a few spots of contact cement to wed the twain but the oil in the sponge prevents stickage, even on a new unit. If I still had one I would consider a small zip-tie through both layers.

Ya Really the Red cover is for off road vehicles. Just a dust cover. Easier to clean between rides and between full air filter cleaning.
But its pretty easy to get creative about making sure it doesnt come off.
I may have used a couple paper clips before.

I have found that hot glue works well to hold filter foam together.

Try 2 zip ties? If you can make em tight it'd be hard to come off.

I usually loose the whole filter, I started tieing a string to mine. The paper clip worked good to hold them together for me.
