A system to indirectly mount a roller shade window covering, comprising:
- a roller shade assembly having two roller brackets and a window shade roller;
- two T-brackets to indirectly secure the roller shade assembly to a window frame of a window and to provide spacing of the roller shade assembly from a window;
- a fascia extending at least as wide as a width of the window;
- two fascia brackets to enable attachment of the fascia to each of the two T-brackets, wherein one fascia bracket is placed toward each end of the fascia;
- two locking pins, wherein each locking pin operates to attach each of the fascia brackets to the T-brackets;
- and
- two level screws for adjusting spacing between each of the fascia brackets and each of the T-brackets in a y-direction;
- wherein the fascia brackets and roller brackets are attached to the fascia and the fascia brackets are attached to the T-brackets which are affixable to the window frame;
- and
- wherein the fascia is adjustable relative to the T-brackets in an x-direction.
