Explanatory Note

On March 13, 2007, The Coast Distribution System, Inc. filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 8, 2007, which, among other things, (i) reported, under Item 7.01, the Company’s announcement, in a press release dated March 12, 2007, that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly cash dividend, in the amount of $0.07 per share, for the quarter ending March 31, 2007 and (ii) attached a copy of that press release as Exhibit 99.2 to that Current Report. That Current Report and the press release, however, contained incorrect record and payment dates for that cash dividend.

Accordingly, this Amendment on Form 8-K/A is being filed to report the correct record and payment dates for that dividend, which are March 23, 2007 and April 6, 2007, respectively, and to furnish a copy of the corrected press release as Exhibit 99.2 to this amended Current Report on Form 8-K. Except as amended hereby, the Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 8, 2007 is unchanged.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

In the press release issued on March 12, 2007, we reported that our Board of Directors had, pursuant to its dividend policy, declared the quarterly cash dividend, for the quarter ending March 31, 2007, in the amount of $0.07 per share. That dividend is payable on April 6, 2007 to all stockholders of record as of March 23, 2007. A copy of that press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to, and incorporated by reference into, this Current Report on Form 8-K.

As stated in its press release, the declaration of cash dividends in the future, pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, is subject to determination each quarter by the Board of Directors based on a number of factors, including the Company’s financial performance and its available cash resources. Also, it could become necessary for the Company to obtain the consent of its lender under its secured bank loan agreement in order to pay cash dividends in the future and for these reasons, as well as others, there can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will not decide to reduce the amount, or suspend or discontinue the payment, of cash dividends in the future.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 701 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, together with Exhibit 99.2, are being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and such information and Exhibits shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

MORGAN HILL, Calif., March 12, 2007 — The Coast Distribution System, Inc.

The dividend will be paid on April 6, 2007 to all stockholders of record as of March 23, 2007.

“Though conditions in the recreational vehicle and marine markets remain difficult, we continue to execute our plans to grow market share through new products, such as the Kipor generators,” said Thomas R.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

The declaration of cash dividends in the future, pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, is subject to final determination each quarter by the Board of Directors based on a number of factors, including the Company’s financial performance and its available cash resources. Also, it could become necessary for the Company to obtain the consent of its lender under its secured bank loan agreement in order to pay cash dividends in the future. For these reasons, as well as others, there can be no assurance that dividends in the future will be equal or similar to the amount described in this press release or that the Board of Directors will not decide to suspend or discontinue the payment of cash dividends in the future.

Statements in this news release regarding our expectations and beliefs about our future financial performance and trends in our markets are “forward- looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigations Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements often include the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.”

The forward-looking statements in this news release regarding our future financial performance are based on current information and, because our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, actual operating results in the future may differ significantly from the future financial performance expected at the current time. Those risks and uncertainties may include, among others: Loss of confidence among consumers regarding economic conditions, which

99.2-1

could adversely affect their willingness to purchase and use their RVs and boats and which, in turn, would affect their purchases of the products we sell; increases in interest rates which affect the availability and affordability of financing for RVs and boats; increases in the costs and shortages in the supply of gasoline which increase the costs of using, and the willingness and ability of consumers to use, RVs and boats; and unusually severe or extended winter weather conditions, which can reduce the usage of RVs and boats for periods extending beyond the ordinary winter months or to regions that ordinarily encounter milder winter weather conditions; possible increases in price competition within our markets that could reduce our margins and, therefore, our earnings; our practice of obtaining a number of our products from single manufacturing sources, which could lead to shortages in the supply of products to us in the event any single source supplier were to encounter production or other problems; and possible changes in supply relationships in our markets, which could lead to increased competition or to reductions in the number of products we are able to offer our customers. Certain of these risks and uncertainties, in addition to other risks, are more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, and readers of this news release are urged to review the discussion of those risks and uncertainties that are contained in that Report.

Due to these and other possible uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this news release, which speak only as of today’s date, or to make predictions based solely on historical financial performance. We also disclaim any obligations to update forward-looking statements contained in this news release or in the above referenced 2005 Annual Report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
