Best thing to do with the 05+ Pathfinder that DON'T have this problem is to carefully cut the strap and plastic/rubber covering. Clean off all the crap and wrap it up again and apply silicone to the open areas that trap dirt and sand.

I'll take some pics of the piping and rubber hoses later. I ended up cutting out the bad section and putting in some new pipe with compression fittings. It took quite a few trips to find the right fittings and piping 5/8's. So far it is holding up. Probably put 500 miles on it and no leaks.
