I'm thinking about removing that bottom rail and instead installing flat aluminum stock (1/4" thick by 2" wide) with the screen tucked under so that the tile will now be slightly higher than the new aluminum, allowing the water to flow out. Any thoughts (other than windows)? Thanks! Unfortunately I can't try my "fix" until January when I return.

Just Google lanai drains, there are other solutions.
