Exhibit 99.3

     ADVANCED ACCESSORY SYSTEMS AND AAS CAPITAL ANNOUNCE INCREASE OF CONSENT
   PAYMENT FOR 10 3/4% SENIOR NOTES AND ADVANCED ACCESSORY HOLDINGS ANNOUNCES
  EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE RELATING TO 13 1/4% SENIOR DISCOUNT NOTES

     STERLING HEIGHTS, MICH., June 19, 2006 - Advanced Accessory Systems, LLC
("AAS") and AAS Capital Corporation ("AAS Capital") today announced that they
have amended their previously announced cash tender offer (the "Senior Notes
Tender Offer") to increase the Consent Payment (as defined in the Offer to
Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement of AAS and AAS Capital) from an
amount equal to 5% of the principal amount of their 10 3/4% Senior Notes due
2011 (the "Senior Notes") to an amount equal to 6 3/4% of the principal amount
of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes Tender Offer provides for the offer to
purchase any and all of the Senior Notes for 96% of the principal amount of the
Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and solicitation of consents
("Consents") to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the
Senior Notes. In connection with the Consent Payment increase, the Consent
Payment Deadline for the Senior Notes has been extended to 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on June 30, 2006, unless otherwise extended or terminated by AAS and
AAS Capital. As a result of the extension, holders of Senior Notes who tender
their Senior Notes prior to the new Consent Payment Deadline will receive the
new Consent Payment. Holders who have previously tendered their Senior Notes do
not need to re-tender their Senior Notes or take any other action in order to
receive the increased Consent Payment.

AAS and AAS Capital have also amended the terms of the Senior Notes Tender Offer
such that Senior Notes may be validly withdrawn and Consents may be validly
revoked at any time on or prior to the earlier of (i) the new Consent Payment
Deadline and (ii) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next business day
following the date on which AAS and AAS Capital issue a press release announcing
that they have obtained the Consents of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes that are not owned by AAS, AAS Capital or
any of their affiliates (such earlier time, the "Withdrawal Deadline"), in each
case by following the procedures described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent
Solicitation Statement of AAS and AAS Capital under the caption "Withdrawal and
Revocation Rights" as if the term "Consent Payment Deadline" had been replaced
with the term "Withdrawal Deadline." A valid withdrawal of tendered Senior Notes
on or prior to the Withdrawal Deadline shall be deemed a valid revocation of the
related Consent.

Concurrently, Advanced Accessory Holdings Corporation ("Holdings" and together
with AAS and AAS Capital, the "Companies") announced today that the supplemental
indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture") providing for certain amendments (the
"Amendments") to the indenture (the "Indenture") governing its 13 1/4% Senior
Discount Notes due 2011 (the "Discount Notes") has been executed by Holdings and
the trustee under the Indenture. The execution of the Supplemental Indenture
followed Holdings' earlier announcements that consents to the Supplemental
Indenture by holders of a majority of outstanding Discount Notes not held by the
Companies or their affiliates had been obtained by the Consent Payment Deadline
(as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement of
Holdings). Although the Supplemental Indenture became effective when it was
executed by Holdings and the trustee, the Amendments will not become operative
until the opening of business on the day that Holdings pays for tendered
Discount Notes. If the Amendments become operative, then they will be effective
as of today.

Except for the increase of the Consent Payment for the Senior Notes and the
revisions to the Consent Payment Deadline and Withdrawal Deadline for the Senior
Notes, all as described above, the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation
Statements of the Companies remain in full force and effect.

The obligation of AAS, AAS Capital and Holdings to accept for payment and
purchase notes that are tendered, and pay for the related consents in each of
the tender offers is conditioned on, among other things, 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 the completion of the Thule
acquisition of certain of AAS's assets and businesses. If the tender offer for
the Senior Notes fails, then the conditions to the Thule acquisition will fail
and, therefore, even though requisite consents for the tender offer for the
Discount Notes have been received and not withdrawn and the Supplemental
Indenture has been executed, the purchase of the Discount Notes in the tender
offer for the Discount Notes will not be consummated unless the relevant
conditions to that tender offer are waived.

The tender offers and consent solicitations are made solely on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the respective Offer to Purchase and
Consent Solicitation Statements of the Companies. Under no circumstances shall
this press release constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to
sell the Senior Notes or the Discount Notes. It also is not a solicitation of
consents to the proposed amendments to either of the indentures governing the
Senior Notes and Discounts Notes, respectively.
