{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Ferrule Help

Hello All,
 
When the fishing is good I tend to go to my spinning gear, since I am very new to fly fishing. I decided to leave the spinning stuff at home and make the next month or two strictly flyfishing. Lats week I had fished Holmes Run in the morning and left my rod together in my car so that I would not have to put it together when I hit a stream at lunch. Later that day, when trying to separate the sections - one did not want to come apart, I thought that maybe the heat from being in the car caused it to get stuck. I took the rod home cooled it off in the house and then when it came apart the rubber part of the Ferrule broke off. (excuse the terminology mistake if it is incorrect).
 
My questions are:
 
1. Is this something that is going to be an issue with the rod's performance?
2. How do I go about fixing it?
3. How do you guys store rods in between uses - do you always take them apart.
 
I have a clearwater II 4 wt., which to me was a big purchase since I am not as avid a fly fisherman as I am spin. I would like to keep it in as best condition as possible, but I do keep rods in my car since all my fishing is done before work or at lunch.
 
Thanks for your help!
