The upper and lower retainers are identical but reversely vertically oriented relative to the respective recesses. Each retainer includes a central base wall and pairs of first and second legs projecting outwardly in opposite directions to define first and second oppositely oriented channels which accommodate the edge of the privacy panel therein.
