1. A mounting assembly for a cover assembly for an architectural feature, said mounting assembly comprising:
a bracket configured to be mounted relative to an architectural feature;
a bracket-adapter configured to be removably coupled to said bracket, said bracket-adapter defining a seat and including retention structure positioned relative to said seat;
an end mount configured to be removably coupled to an end of the cover assembly, said end mount configured to be received within said seat to allow said end mount to be releasably coupled to said bracket-adapter via said retention structure; and
a biasing mechanism configured to apply a biasing force against said end-mount when said end mount is received within said seat;
wherein:
when said end mount is received within said seat of said bracket-adapter, said retention structure is movable relative to said end mount between an extended position, at which a portion of said retention structure extends within said seat to engage said end mount and retain said end mount within said seat, and a retracted position, at which said portion of said retention structure is disengaged from said end mount to allow said end mount to be removed from said seat; and
the biasing force applied by said biasing mechanism against said end mount maintains said end-mount engaged with said retention structure when said portion of said retention structure is at said extended position.
