If it slips down far enough it melts to the housing below, this happended in my Car.
So how to fix it? Pry the fan off the shaft - (it can be done) then re-set it with epoxy onto the shaft leaving a few mm of gap from the housing.
Your quick fix will work but not for long trust me.
Here's an old thread with the details of this problem:

Ahhh crap! Oh well - they are easy to remove and easy to disassemble. Will do this tomorrow....I might as well work on the driver's side as well.
