A roller shade adapted to adjustably cover a structural opening comprising a pair of longitudinal side panel assemblies each comprising a tensioning assembly and adapted to be attached at opposite sides of the structural opening and a roller tube assembly adapted to be attached to and between the pair of longitudinal side panel assemblies. The roller tube assembly comprises a roller tube comprising at least one channel and a shade material attached to the roller tube and adapted to unroll from the roller tube from an opened position to a closed position. The roller tube assembly further comprises at least one cable cone secured to an end of the roller tube and comprising a lateral wall comprising a plurality of index slots disposed at radial intervals along the lateral wall. The roller shade also comprises at least one cable adapted to be wound about the cable cone, be tensioned by the tensioning assembly, and be attached to a free end of the shade material. The cable cone is adapted to be aligned with respect to the roller tube to an aligned position at which one of the index slots is substantially aligned with the at least one channel in the roller tube. An index insert is adapted to be inserted through the substantially aligned index slot and into the channel in the roller tube to lock the alignment between the roller tube and the cable cone.
