Dust cover assembly and method of producing the same

A dust cover assembly disposed radially outwardly of a shock absorber for covering a protruding portion of a piston rod of said shock absorber, said dust cover assembly comprising:

• a dust cover having a tubular shape;
• and
• a fixing member connectable to a protruding end portion of said piston rod and including a cup-shaped first metal holder and a cup-shaped second metal holder whose diameter is larger than that of said first metal holder, said first and second metal holders being superposed on and connected to each other at outer surfaces of their bottom wall portions,
• said first metal holder arranged for holding a rubber mount which is adapted to be held in elastic contact with a body of a vehicle,
• said second metal holder arranged for holding a bound stopper,
• one of axially opposite open end portions of said dust cover being attached to said fixing member such that said one of axially opposite open end portions of said dust cover is held in close contact with an outer circumferential surface of said second metal holder and at least a part of an outer circumferential surface of said first metal holder.
