      STERLING HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN, June 5, 2006 - Advanced Accessory Systems, LLC
("AAS") and AAS Capital Corporation ("AAS Capital") today announced that they
have commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of their outstanding
10 3/4% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "Senior Notes"). In addition, Advanced
Accessory Holdings Corporation ("Holdings") announced that it has commenced a
cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding 13 1/4% Senior
Discount Notes due 2011 (the "Discount Notes"). In connection with the tender
offers, AAS, AAS Capital and Holdings are soliciting consents to, among other
things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain
events of default contained in the indentures governing the respective notes.

      The tender offers are each scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York
City time, on June 30, 2006, unless extended. The price that AAS and AAS Capital
will pay for Senior Notes that are tendered and accepted for payment will be an
amount equal to 96% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes plus accrued and
unpaid interest up to but excluding the payment date. The price that Holdings
will pay for Discount Notes that are tendered and accepted for payment will be
an amount equal to 96% of the accreted value of the Discount Notes on the
payment date. AAS, AAS Capital and Holdings will also pay a consent fee of 5% of
the principal amount or accreted value on the payment date, as applicable, for
any notes that are tendered prior to the consent payment deadline of 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on June 16, 2006. No consent fee will be paid for notes
tendered after the consent payment deadline. Holders who tender notes and
deliver consents will not be able to withdraw or revoke them after the consent
payment deadline.

      Holders of notes may not tender notes without delivering consents and may
not deliver consents without tendering notes. The obligation of AAS, AAS Capital
and Holdings to accept for payment and purchase notes that are tendered, and pay
for the related consents, is conditioned on, among other things, completion of
the previously announced acquisition of certain of the assets and businesses of
AAS by Thule AB, and receipt of consents to the proposed amendments to the
respective indentures from the holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the Senior Notes and a majority in principal amount at maturity of the
Discount Notes not owned by AAS, AAS Capital or Holdings, or any of their
affiliates, being properly tendered and not validly withdrawn.

      If the requisite number of consents is received prior to the consent
payment deadline, then AAS, AAS Capital, Holdings and the respective trustees
will execute supplemental indentures containing the amendments to the respective
indentures. The amendments will not become operative until the payment date and,
if they become operative, will be effective as of the date on which the
supplemental indentures were executed.
