Abstract A self-centering end cap (14) for a bottom rail (20) of an architectural structure covering (10). The end cap (14) may include a contoured top surface (38) that is configured to contact a head rail (16) of the architectural structure covering (10) to deflect the end cap (14) and hence the bottom rail (20) and covering (18) of the architectural structure covering (10) toward a horizontally centered position, thus enabling the covering (18) and the bottom rail (20) to be fully retracted to a docked position within the head rail (16) without impediment. (Fig. 1) 22 16 26 24 lr= 20 (See Figs. 3A and 3B) Fig. 1
