After more inspection, I've found significant amounts of rust in the channel behind the seam. Looks like I'm going to have to cut it open clean it. I'll cut the upper metal piece in a rectangle and epoxy it back in backwards so the rust damaged side can be completely covered. I don't see any way to weld it in place without introducing more places where it could rust...
