The frame should have drain holes or slots, over time these tend to fill-up and a solution may be to simply clean out the drain holes or slots. If the water is leaking UNDER the frame IMHO, all of the old caulk needs to be removed and new caulk applied along the bottom and along both sides, at a minimum, other work may be required.
There are no drain holes because the tracks are flat but I had no problem till the hurricane . I just had someone recaulk the bottom . I’ve called every company they all say they don’t fix leaks , I’m ready to take the birdcage down and put a screen room in , I know it’s drastic but I’m not sure what I can do ,who would have thought in Florida no one fixes leaks I can’t be the only one
