Ah you mean axial rather than radial slippage?  That is easy to fix. Stop
trying to turn a prime lens into a zoom lens, skinflint ;-) 

But it sounds like it's too late, and you are looking for a remedy.  One
solution comes in a can marked Evo Stik (others may tell you it's Walther's
Goo, but you'n'me know different).  Another answer would be double sided
sticky tape - peel back the rubber grip (which sounds like it's loose
enough) then apply the tape to the lens body, and then replace the grip -
perhaps using cocktail sticks to keep the grip proud of the sticky surface
until you have it back in the right position.

What's the solution to a slipping focussing rubber grip (longitudinally, as
opposed to rotationally)?

Thanks,

Simon
