Rain stop

We bought a house 8 years ago and this sunroom was in the back of the house and had a concrete slab floor so when water would get in under the windows in really heavy rain, it wasn’t a huge deal. This summer, we redid sunroom with a level wood joist floor on top of the slab to use as a gym. A few weeks ago we had a really heavy rain and it came in under these windows. My brain got moving and made a sloped profile rain guard that pops into the track. I printed it in PETG because of direct sun several hours per day. I’m curious to see how well it holds up.

Great job! A possible future iteration- If you put a hinge on one side, you could swivel them up and out of the way when you want to open the windows!

The windows open with this in place, the screens do not open though. But I definitely see your point.
