Default Starter motor temporary fix

The other day i went to start me 99' es and turns out all i heard was " click, click , click, click "
I got out my multi-meter and checked that the battery was 12.6 volts ( good news ) which most likely nailed it down to my starter.

Took out the starter. Opened it up and surely enough the solenoid contacts were worn out a lot.
So, I slightly bent both of them upwards and put everything back together.
Car started on first try.

This may be unorthodox, but it is a temporary fix until my repair kit comes
