The rod () is configured to cooperate with the panels () so that the rod () is operable to receive the panels () when the rod () is in a straight position, but sufficiently flexible, that once the panels () are received thereon, the rod () can flex into an arched position thereby transferring the panels () into a mounted position. The brackets () slidably and releaseably receive the panel-laden rod () and need not be mounted to the window frame (Af). A preferred alternative arcuate window treatment assembly () is also disclosed.
