Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

In a press release issued on June 7, 2007, we reported that our Board of Directors had, pursuant to its dividend policy, declared the quarterly cash dividend, for the quarter ending June 30, 2007, in the amount of $0.07 per share. That dividend is payable on June 29, 2007 to all stockholders of record as of June 15, 2007. A copy of that press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 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 a separate press release, also issued on June 7, 2007, we announced the recent opening of Coast’s newest product design and testing center, which has enabled Coast to enlarge its overall design and development staff and adds resources for prototyping, computer simulation testing and physical testing of new products for its North American customers. As reported in that press release, this new product design and testing center, which is located in an 18,000 square foot facility in Elkhart, Indiana, is the fourth product design and testing center operated by Coast, with the other centers located, respectively, in the countries of China and Taiwan, and in Wilsonville, Oregon. A copy of that press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to, and incorporated by reference into, this Current Report on Form 8-K.

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 99.1 and 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., June 7, 2007 — The Coast Distribution System, Inc. (AMEX: CRV) today announced its Board of Directors declared the cash dividend for its fiscal second quarter of 2007 of $0.07 per share. The dividend will be paid on June 29, 2007 to all stockholders of record as of June 15, 2007.

“Though conditions in the marine and RV markets remain difficult, we have strengthened our operations in the first half of 2007 by adding leadership to our Kipor and Husky product lines,” said Thomas R. McGuire, Chairman and CEO of Coast. “This dividend, our tenth consecutive quarterly cash dividend since the adoption of our dividend policy in Feb. 2005, is a reflection of the Board’s confidence in Coast and its commitment to reward shareholders for their ownership.”

Coast, one of North America’s largest suppliers of aftermarket replacement parts, accessories and supplies for the recreational vehicle (RV) and marine industries, announced in August 2006 that its Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company’s regular quarterly cash dividend from $0.05 per share to $0.07 per share, or $0.28 per year.

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 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

99.1-1

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.
