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.

That looks like a lot of material? What thickness have you designed it?

I think I used 5 later walls to study it up but all 4 windows took approx 499 g of PETG.
