Do Draw-Tite Hitch Mounting Brackets Cover Frame Holes on a 2018 Mazda CX-5
Question:
I am wondering if the installation will cover those holes, where will water trapped inside the unibody member drain from?

Hi Kek!
Yes, the mounting brackets of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76138 will fit over the frame holes you highlighted from our install video when you install this on your 2018 Mazda CX-5.
There are other holes in the frame rail that any water accumulation will be able to drain out from if need be. Ideally you shouldn't be getting much water inside the frame rail unless you are driving through some higher water like crossing a small creek.
