Hey guys. I've come up with a kit for this.
I'm using laser cut 10 gauge stainless steel plates. I think 12 gauge could flex too much and any thicker than 10 gauge would require longer than factory fasteners. The goal is to use a material that will not flex. It's not cheap at $40 shipped, but it's a proper fix that installs in about 5 minutes.

NOW, THAT IS SLICK. I'm actually working on a kit that's similar, but will work when the top is on or off. Lockable storage.
From the looks of that first pick you might want to add some reinforcement though. The metal is bending and that's not good for the crack deal. Or maybe it's just the picture.
