What is that metal box channel in the pictures?
What you are seeing is a close up picture looking from inside the air conditioner. There is some metal framing for the air conditioner which is what you are seeing but it does not fill the whole square so there is room for this to happen.
Your question did give me an idea on a potential fix but it won't be easy. I might be able to make a custom piece of angle iron that I could fast up against the top of the roof using a nuts/washers on the four bolts that hold the air conditioner in place on the roof. It would be challenging but it should be possible.
I think your on the right track. Look for something called flexangle. It is easy to work with, and quite strong. It's not going to be pretty no matter what you do. I guess this would be a good reason to go to the factory of any unit your going to purchase so you can see how they are built and make a determinination on whether you think it will stand the test of time.
