How are you confirming that water is getting trapped in the crossbars? I'm also in the sam situation as you.

I use my Wave in saltwater so I'm perpetually worried about dissimilar metal corrosion (I.e. stainless rivet and aluminum extrusion). I already see heavy corrosion adjacent to the stainless steel hull stops. I noticed that water tends to get trapped in the crossbars. IMO, it's futile to avoid leakage. Because I store my Wave in my backyard after each use, I thought it would make more sense to drill large holes in the end caps to allow me to flush it out with fresh water and air dry.
I can't imagine anything worse than constant saltwater exposure at temps >80F. That would be an ideal environment to encourage corrosion.
Anyone else come to a similar conclusion?
