I remember that post and investigated and it seem expensive to me. So what I did was go to the area where it puddles, loosen the screws that hold the frame down to the patio, insert a small shim about 1/16" thick under the frame and retighten. I used a piece of plastic, actually a portion of a heavy duty wire tie for the shim. Now the water runs right out and the small gap is unseen.
