An adapter and hanger mounts an associated article to an associated anchor rail. The anchor rail is formed as a U-shaped channel having a pair of upstanding, opposing legs, each leg having an inwardly extending wall and terminating in a downwardly oriented lip. The adapter includes a top surface, flanges depending from the top surface and mounting legs extending from the flanges. The mounting legs each have a hook-like portion for engaging a respective rail lip. The adapter is flexible to permit urging the flanges inwardly toward one another for inserting a portion of the mounting legs into the U-shaped channel, and is also resilient such that the hook like portions biasedly engage the rail lips. In one embodiment, a hanger is formed integral with the adapter.
