I understand that the aforementioned repairs are the proper way of fixing the problem and being done with it. However, I didnt want to invest the time, money or effort into such a tedious repair so I created a temporary fix.

I used stainless hardware with silicone in every screw hole to prevent more infiltration. The floor feels much stronger and the aluminum should hold up for years to come!
Hope this helps!
