It's not captive, but the slot in the bumperette is elongated and
matches the bolt head shape. The problem is that the bumperette is
really thin metal so it only takes a bit of force to make the
bolt spin and round the hole. Oh well.
A nut splitter will take that sucker off faster than you can
say "What's a nut splitter".
