	2. Significant Accounting Policies
	Principles of combination and consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the wholly-owned and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries controlled by the Company. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.
	The equity method of accounting is followed for investments in which the Company does not have control, but does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. Generally this occurs when ownership is between 20% to 50%. The cost method is followed in those situations where the Company’s ownership is less than 20% and the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.
	The Company’s investment in Nishikawa Standard Company (“NISCO”), a 40% owned joint venture in the United States, is accounted for under the equity method. This investment is in the Company’s North America segment. This investment totaled $17,424 and $17,162 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

	The Company’s investment in Guyoung, a 17% owned joint venture in Korea, is accounted for under the cost method. This investment is in the Company’s Asia Pacific segment. This investment totaled $2,014 and $1,886 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During 2013, the Company sold shares of its investment in Guyoung which decreased the ownership percentage from 20% to 17%.
	The Company’s investment in Huayu-Cooper Standard Sealing Systems Co. Ltd. (“Huayu”), a 47.5% owned joint venture in China, is accounted for under the equity method. This investment is in the Company’s Asia Pacific segment. This investment totaled $26,815 and $29,270 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

This investment totaled $13,056 and $14,839 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In 2012, the Company received from NISCO Thailand a dividend of $82, all of which was related to earnings.

	Foreign currency – The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at the end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and at a weighted average exchange rate for each period for revenues and expenses. Translation adjustments for those subsidiaries whose local currency is their functional currency are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Transaction related gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized in earnings as incurred, except for those intercompany balances which are designated as long-term.
	Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Accounts receivable – The Company records trade accounts receivable when revenue is recorded in accordance with its revenue recognition policy and relieves accounts receivable when payments are received from customers. Generally the Company does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.
	Allowance for doubtful accounts – The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through charges to the provision for bad debts when it is probable that the outstanding receivable will not be collected. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on a periodic basis. The evaluation includes historical trends in collections and write-offs, management’s judgment of the probability of collecting accounts and management’s evaluation of business risk. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to revision as more information becomes available. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $3,727 and $6,317 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
	Advertising expense – Expenses incurred for advertising are generally expensed when incurred. Advertising expense was $1,463 for 2011, $1,839 for 2012 and $3,059 for 2013.
	Inventories – Inventories are valued at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company records inventory reserves for inventory in excess of production and/or forecasted requirements and for obsolete inventory in production. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, inventories are reflected net of reserves of $20,987 and $19,954, respectively.
		December 31,
		2012		2013
	Finished goods	$	37,415	$	48,787
	Work in process		32,383		38,929
	Raw materials and supplies		73,455		92,050
		$	143,253	$	179,766
	Derivative financial instruments – Derivative financial instruments are utilized by the Company to reduce foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting, and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. On the date the derivative is established, the Company designates the derivative as either a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a net investment hedge in accordance with its established policy. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
	Income taxes – Income tax expense in the consolidated statements of net income is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes using the liability method.
	Deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.
	Long-lived assets – Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using primarily the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the expected life of the asset or term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Intangibles with finite lives, which include technology and customer relationships, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired and the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying value. If the net carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss exists and is calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis or estimated salvage value. Discounted cash flows are estimated using internal budgets and assumptions regarding discount rates and other factors.
	Pre-Production Costs Related to Long Term Supply Arrangements – Costs for molds, dies, and other tools owned by the Company to produce products under long-term supply arrangements are recorded at cost in property, plant, and equipment and amortized over the lesser of three years or the term of the related supply agreement. The amounts capitalized were $2,593 and $2,026 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The Company expenses all pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer. Reimbursable tooling costs included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were $3,877 and $13,786 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Reimbursable tooling costs are recorded in tooling receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets if considered a receivable in the next twelve months. Tooling receivable for customer-owned tooling for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 was $116,947 and $156,205, respectively, of which $78,403 and $99,687, respectively, was not yet invoiced to the customer.
	Goodwill – Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment, either annually or when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist, by reporting unit which is determined in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” The Company utilizes an income approach to estimate the fair value of each of its reporting units. The income approach is based on projected debt-free cash flow which is discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. The Company believes that this approach is appropriate because it provides a fair value estimate based upon the reporting unit’s expected long-term operating cash flow performance. Fair value is estimated using recent automotive industry and specific platform production volume projections, which are based on both third-party and internally-developed forecasts, as well as commercial, wage and benefit, inflation and discount rate assumptions. Other significant assumptions include the weighted average cost of capital, terminal value growth rate, terminal value margin rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. While there are inherent uncertainties related to the assumptions used and to management’s application of these assumptions to this analysis, the Company believes that the income approach provides a reasonable estimate of the fair value of its reporting units. The guideline public company method, a form of the market approach, was used to corroborate the results of the Company’s income approach conclusions. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of October 1st of each year.
	The Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the first step of the goodwill test. For 2013, the Company decided to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the first step of the goodwill impairment test. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, then the Company concludes that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is required to measure possible goodwill impairment loss. The second step includes hypothetically valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared to the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, the Company would recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value. The 2013 annual goodwill impairment analysis resulted in no impairment.
	Revenue Recognition and Sales Commitments – Revenue is recognized when there is evidence of a sales agreement, the delivery of the goods has occurred, the sales price is fixed and deliverable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company generally enters into agreements with their customers to produce products at the beginning of a vehicle’s life. Although such agreements do not generally provide for minimum quantities, once they enter into such agreements, fulfillment of their customers’ purchasing requirements can be their obligation for an extended period or the entire production life of the vehicle. These agreements generally may be terminated by their customer at any time. Historically, terminations of these agreements have been minimal. In certain limited instances, the Company may be committed under existing agreements to supply products to their customers at selling prices which are not sufficient to cover the direct cost to produce such products. In such situations, they recognize losses as they are incurred.
	The Company receives blanket purchase orders from many of its customers on an annual basis. Generally, such purchase orders and related documents set forth the annual terms, including pricing, related to a particular vehicle model. Such purchase orders generally do not specify quantities. The Company recognizes revenue based on the pricing terms included in the annual purchase orders as products are shipped to the customers. As part of certain agreements, the Company is asked to provide its customers with annual cost reductions. The Company accrues for such amounts as a reduction of revenue as products are shipped to the customers. In addition, the Company generally has ongoing adjustments to pricing arrangements with its customers based on the related content and cost of the products. Such pricing accruals are adjusted as they are settled with the customers.
	Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling are included in sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income.
	Research and development – Costs are charged to selling, administration and engineering expenses as incurred and totaled $83,906 for 2011, $94,171 for 2012 and $103,475 for 2013.
	Stock-based compensation – The Company measures stock-based compensation expense at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and recognizes such expenses over the vesting period of the stock-based employee awards. See Note 18. “Stock-Based Compensation” for additional information.
	Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of (1) revenues and expenses during the reporting period and (2) assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Reclassifications – Certain amounts in prior periods’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, $32,616 was reclassified from accounts receivable, net to other current assets to conform to the current period presentation.
	Recent accounting pronouncements
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU requires that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit be offset against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This ASU permits use of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes and removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The guidance is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU requires companies to present the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The effects of adoption were not significant and the additional required disclosures are included in Note 12. “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).”
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This ASU permits companies to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired before performing the quantitative impairment test. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The impact of the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires additional disclosures regarding offsetting and related arrangements. The issuance of ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, limited the scope of ASU 2011-11 to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement. The provisions of these updates were effective as of January 1, 2013. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

	3. Acquisitions
	On July 31, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Jyco Sealing Technologies (“Jyco”) for cash consideration of $14,382. The business acquired in the transaction is operated from Jyco’s manufacturing locations in Canada, Mexico and China. Jyco provides Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (“TPV”) sealing technology and primarily supplies sealing systems and components to the automotive industry. This directly aligns with the Company’s growth strategy by strengthening important customer relationships in the automotive sealing systems. This acquisition was accounted for under ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and the results of operations of Jyco are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
	The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of Jyco assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:
	Cash and cash equivalents	$	878
	Accounts receivable		8,596
	Tooling receivable		1,870
	Inventories		6,053
	Property, plant, and equipment		7,428
	Goodwill and intangibles		8,986
	Other assets		838
	Total assets acquired		34,649
	Accounts payable		11,167
	Other current liabilities		7,085
	Other long-term liabilities		2,015
	Total liabilities assumed		20,267
	Net assets acquired	$	14,382
	Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current liabilities were stated at historical carrying values which management believes approximates fair value given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventories were recorded at fair value which is estimated for finished goods and work-in-process based upon the expected selling price less costs to complete, selling, and disposal costs, and a normal profit to the buyer. Raw material inventory was recorded at carrying value as such value approximates the replacement cost. Management has estimated the fair value of property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other long-lived assets based upon financial estimates and projections prepared in conjunction with the transaction. The value assigned to all assets and liabilities did not exceed the acquisition price, therefore goodwill and intangibles were recorded related to this transaction as of December 31, 2013.

	Restructuring activities initiated prior to 2012
	The Company implemented several restructuring initiatives in prior years including the closure or consolidation of facilities throughout the world, the establishment of a centralized shared services function in Europe and the reorganization of the Company’s operating structure. The Company commenced these initiatives prior to January 1, 2012 and continued to execute these initiatives during 2013. The majority of the costs associated with these initiatives were incurred shortly after the original implementation. However, the Company continues to incur costs on some of the initiatives related principally to the disposal of the respective facilities.

	In the first quarter of 2012, the Company initiated the closure of a facility in North America and a restructuring liability of $4,886 was recorded. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company was able to negotiate a new contract with the union, therefore enabling the facility to remain open. As a result, $4,725 of restructuring expense was reversed in the year ended December 31, 2012.
	Restructuring activities initiated in 2013
	In the first quarter of 2013, the Company eliminated certain positions within the organization that resulted in restructuring expense of $1,621, all of which is paid. No additional expense is expected to be incurred related to this initiative.
	In the third quarter of 2013, the Company initiated the closure of a facility in Korea and the transfer of equipment to another facility in Korea. The estimated cost of this initiative is $1,000 and is expected to be completed in 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded $622 of employee separation costs and other exit costs related to this initiative. As of December 31, 2013, the liability associated with this initiative is $390.
	In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company initiated the restructure of a facility in Europe. The estimated cost of this initiative is $21,100 and is expected to be completed in 2016.

	Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment, either annually or when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist, by reporting units determined in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $2,787 in its South America reporting segment. This charge was due to changes in the forecast for this reporting unit resulting from launch activities and operating inefficiencies incurred in 2012 that were expected to continue into the future as additional time would be required to improve operational performance. The 2013 annual goodwill impairment analysis, completed as of the first day of the fourth quarter, resulted in no impairment. The fair value of the Europe reporting unit did not substantially exceed its corresponding carrying amount and if future growth assumptions are not achieved, the Company could incur a future goodwill impairment charge.
	Other Intangible Assets
	The following table presents intangible assets and accumulated amortization balances of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively:

	8 1/2% Senior Notes due 2018 (“Senior Notes”)
	On May 11, 2010, the Company sold $450,000 aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. and all of CSA U.S.’s wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (collectively, the “guarantors” and together with CSA U.S., the “obligors”). If CSA U.S. or any of its domestic restricted subsidiaries acquires or creates another wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiary that guarantees certain debt of CSA U.S. or a guarantor, such newly acquired or created subsidiary is also required to guarantee the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes bear an interest rate of 8 1/2% and mature on May 1, 2018. Interest is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1.
	The Senior Notes and each guarantee constitute senior debt of CSA U.S. and each guarantor, respectively. The Senior Notes and each guarantee (1) rank equally in right of payment with all of the applicable obligor’s existing and future senior debt, (2) rank senior in right of payment to all of the applicable obligor’s existing and future subordinated debt, (3) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the applicable obligor’s existing and future secured indebtedness and secured obligations to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness and obligations and (4) are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of CSA U.S.’s non-guarantor subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and liabilities owed to CSA U.S. or one of the guarantors).
	CSA U.S. has the right to redeem the Senior Notes at the redemption prices set forth below:
		•		on and after May 1, 2014, all or a portion of the Senior Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of 104.250% of the principal amount thereof if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 1, 2014, 102.125% of the principal amount thereof if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 1, 2015, and 100% of the principal amount thereof if redeemed on or after May 1, 2016, in each case plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date;
		•		prior to May 1, 2014, all or a portion of the Senior Notes may be redeemed at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a make-whole premium, and any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
	If a change of control occurs with respect to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. or CSA U.S., unless CSA U.S. has exercised its right to redeem all of the outstanding Senior Notes, each noteholder shall have the right to require that CSA U.S. repurchase such noteholder’s Senior Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the right of the noteholders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.
	The Senior Notes indenture limits, among other things, the ability of CSA U.S. and its restricted subsidiaries (currently, all majority owned subsidiaries) to pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase equity, prepay subordinated debt or make certain investments, incur additional debt or issue certain disqualified stock or preferred stock, sell assets, incur liens, enter into transactions with affiliates and allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of a restricted subsidiary to pay dividends or to make other payments or loans to or transfer assets to CSA U.S. in each case, subject to certain exclusions and other customary exceptions. The Senior Notes indenture also limits the ability of CSA U.S., Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. and a subsidiary guarantor to merge or consolidate with another entity or sell all or substantially all of its assets. In addition, certain of these covenants will not be applicable during any period of time when the Senior Notes have an investment grade rating. The Senior Notes indenture contains customary events of default.
	Senior PIK Toggle Notes
	On April 3, 2013, the Company issued $175,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7  3/8% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2018 (the “Senior PIK Toggle Notes”). The Senior PIK Toggle Notes bear an interest rate of 7.375%, mature on April 1, 2018 and were issued at an aggregate discount of $3,938. On May 20, 2013, the Company issued an additional $25,000 Senior PIK Toggle Notes. These additional Senior PIK Toggle Notes were issued at an aggregate discount of $188. All of the Senior PIK Toggle Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated April 3, 2013. The Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the Senior PIK Toggle Notes, together with cash on hand, to finance the purchase of shares pursuant to the Company’s cash tender offer (“Equity Tender Offer”) to purchase up to 4,651,162 shares of its common stock at a price of $43.00 per share, which settled on May 2, 2013. See Note 17. “Equity and 7% Preferred Stock” for additional information.
	The Company paid the first interest payment on the Senior PIK Toggle Notes in cash (“Cash Interest”). For each interest period thereafter (other than for the final interest period ending at stated maturity, which will be made in cash), the Company will be required to pay Cash Interest, unless the conditions described in the indenture are satisfied, in which case the Company will be entitled to pay, to the extent described in the indenture, interest by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Senior PIK Toggle Notes or issuing new Senior PIK Toggle Notes (such increase or issuance, “PIK Interest”). Cash Interest will accrue on the Senior PIK Toggle Notes at a rate equal to 7.375% per annum. PIK Interest will accrue on the Senior PIK Toggle Notes at a rate equal to 8.125% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1.
	The Senior PIK Toggle Notes were not guaranteed as of the date of issuance. If any of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries guarantees certain debt of the Company, such subsidiary will also be required to guarantee the Senior PIK Toggle Notes.
	The Senior PIK Toggle Notes constitute senior debt of the Company and (1) rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior debt, (2) rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt of the Company, (3) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness and secured obligations to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness and obligations and (4) are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and liabilities owed to the Company).
	The Company has the right to redeem the Senior PIK Toggle Notes at the redemption prices set forth below:
		•		on and after April 1, 2014, all or a portion of the Senior PIK Toggle Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of 102.000% of the principal amount thereof if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 1, 2014, 101.000% of the principal amount thereof if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 1, 2015, and 100.000% of the principal amount thereof if redeemed on or after April 1, 2016, in each case plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date;
		•		prior to April 1, 2014, all or a portion of the Senior PIK Toggle Notes may be redeemed with the proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 102.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date; and
		•		prior to April 1, 2014, all or a portion of the Senior PIK Toggle Notes may be redeemed at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
	If a change of control occurs with respect to the Company, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the outstanding Senior PIK Toggle Notes, each noteholder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase such noteholder’s Senior PIK Toggle Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
	The Senior PIK Toggle Notes indenture contains covenants and events of default customary for an issuer of non-investment grade debt and substantially similar to the covenants and events of default in the indenture governing the Senior Notes.
	Senior ABL Facility
	On April 8, 2013, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, in connection with its Senior ABL Facility, with certain lenders, which amended and restated the then-existing credit facility. The Senior ABL Facility provides for an aggregate revolving loan availability of up to $150,000, subject to borrowing base availability, including a $50,000 letter of credit sub-facility and a $25,000 swing line sub-facility. The Senior ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted $75,000 incremental loan facility, for a potential total Senior ABL Facility of $225,000 (if requested by the Borrowers and the lenders agree to fund such increase). No consent of any lender (other than those participating in the increase) is required to effect any such increase. As of December 31, 2013, subject to borrowing base availability, the Company had $150,000 in availability less outstanding letters of credit of $36,739.
	Any borrowings under the Senior ABL Facility will mature, and the commitments of the lenders under the Senior ABL Facility will terminate, on March 1, 2018. Proceeds of the Senior ABL Facility may be used to issue commercial and standby letters of credit, to finance ongoing working capital needs and for general corporate purposes. Loan (and letter of credit) availability under the Senior ABL Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which at any time is limited to the lesser of: (A) the maximum facility amount (subject to certain adjustments) and (B) (i) up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable; plus (ii) up to the lesser of 70% of eligible inventory or 85% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory; minus reserves established by the Agent. The accounts receivable portion of the borrowing base is subject to certain formulaic limitations (including concentration limits). The inventory portion of the borrowing base is limited to eligible inventory, as determined by an independent appraisal. The borrowing base is also subject to certain reserves, which are established by the Agent (which may include changes to the advance rates indicated above). Loan availability under the Senior ABL Facility is apportioned to the Borrowers as follows: $130,000 to CSA U.S. which includes a $50,000 sublimit to Cooper-Standard Automotive International Holdings B.V. and a $20,000 sublimit to CSA Canada.
	Obligations under the Senior ABL Facility and cash management arrangements and interest rate and foreign currency swaps, in each case with the lenders and their affiliates (collectively “Additional ABL Secured Obligations”) entered into by CSA U.S. are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and all of our U.S. subsidiaries (other than CS Automotive LLC). Obligations of CSA Canada under the Senior ABL Facility and Additional ABL Secured Obligations of CSA Canada and its Canadian subsidiaries are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company, its U.S. subsidiaries and CSA Canada and Canadian subsidiaries. Obligations of Cooper-Standard International Holdings BV under the Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed on a secured basis by the Company and all of our US subsidiaries (other than CS Automotive LLC). The obligations under the Senior ABL Facility and related guarantees are secured by a first priority lien on all of each Borrower’s (other than Cooper-Standard International Holdings BV and each guarantor’s existing and future personal property consisting of accounts receivable, payment intangibles, inventory, documents, instruments, chattel paper and investment property, certain money, deposit accounts and securities accounts and certain related assets and proceeds of the foregoing.
	Borrowings under the Senior ABL Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Borrowers’ option:
		•		in the case of borrowings by the U.S. Borrower or European Borrower, LIBOR or the base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin; or
		•		in the case of borrowings by the Canadian Borrower, BA rate, Canadian prime rate or Canadian base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin.
	The applicable margin may vary between 1.50% and 2.00% with respect to the LIBOR or BA-based borrowings and between 0.50% and 1.00% with respect to base rate, Canadian prime rate and Canadian base rate borrowings. The applicable margin is subject, in each case, to quarterly pricing adjustments based on usage over the immediately preceding quarter.
	In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior ABL Facility, the Borrowers are required to pay a fee in respect of committed but unutilized commitments. The Borrowers are also required to pay a fee on outstanding letters of credit under the Senior ABL Facility, together with customary issuance and other letter of credit fees. The Senior ABL Facility also requires the payment of customary agency and administrative fees.
	The Borrowers are able to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the commitment amount and repay outstanding loans, in each case, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage and related reemployment costs with respect to repayments of outstanding borrowings).
	The Senior ABL Facility includes affirmative and negative covenants that impose substantial restrictions on the Company’s financial and business operations, including their ability to incur and secure debt, make investments, sell assets, pay dividends or make acquisitions. The Senior ABL Facility also includes a requirement to maintain a monthly fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.0 to 1.0 when availability under the Senior ABL Facility is less than specified levels. The Senior ABL Facility also contains various events of default that are customary for comparable facilities.
	The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2013.
	Other borrowings at December 31, 2012 and 2013 reflect borrowings under capital leases, local bank lines and accounts receivable factoring sold with recourse classified in debt payable within one year on the consolidated balance sheet.
	The maturities of debt at December 31, 2013 are as follows:
	2014		$	28,329
	2015			932
	2016			3,343
	2017			1,455
	2018			647,777
	Thereafter			2,588
			$	684,424
	Interest paid on third party debt was $44,038, $45,752 and $52,925 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

	8. Pensions
	The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans covering employees located in the United States. The majority of these plans are frozen and all are closed to new employees. Benefits generally are based on compensation, length of service and age for salaried employees and on length of service for hourly employees. The Company’s policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. The Company also sponsors defined benefit pension plans for employees in some of its international locations.
	The Company also sponsors defined contribution pension plans for certain salaried and hourly U.S. employees of the Company. Participation is voluntary. The Company matches contributions of participants, up to various limits based on its profitability, in substantially all plans. The Company also sponsors a retirement plan that includes Company non-elective contributions. Non-elective and matching contributions under these plans totaled $12,565, $12,851 and $13,609 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

	Plan Assets
	To develop the expected return on assets assumption, the Company considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio.
	The weighted average asset allocations for the Company’s pension plans at December 31, 2012 and 2013 by asset category are approximately as follows:
		2012						2013
	U.S.			Non-U.S.			U.S.			Non-U.S.
Equity securities		36%			42%			28%			44%
Debt securities		26%			57%			30%			55%
Real estate		4%			0%			4%			0%

Cash and cash equivalents		0%			1%			0%			1%
		100%			100%			100%			100%
(1) Invested primarily in equity, fixed income and cash instruments.
Equity security investments are structured to achieve an equal balance between growth and value stocks. The Company determines the annual rate of return on pension assets by first analyzing the composition of its asset portfolio. Historical rates of return are applied to the portfolio. This computed rate of return is reviewed by the Company’s investment advisors and actuaries. Industry comparables and other outside guidance is also considered in the annual selection of the expected rates of return on pension assets.
Investments in equity securities and debt securities are valued at fair value using a market approach and observable inputs, such as quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1 input based on the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy). Investments in equity securities and balanced funds in which the Company holds participation units in a fund, the Net Asset Value of which is based on the underlying assets and liabilities of the respective fund, are considered an unobservable input (Level 3 input based on the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy). Investments in Balanced Funds are valued at fair value using a market approach and inputs that are primarily directly or indirectly observable (Level 2 input based on the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy). Investments in Real Estate funds are primarily valued at Net Asset Value depending on the investment. See Note 20. “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for additional information on the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy.
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy established by FASB ASC 820, the Company’s pension plan assets at fair value as of December 31, 2012:
	Level One			Level Two			Level Three			Total
Investments
Equity securities	$	45,168		$	56,128		$	15,459		$	116,755
Debt securities		22,718			82,295			-			105,013

Cash and cash equivalents		279			-			-			279
Total	$	93,231		$	202,029		$	19,408		$	314,668
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy established by FASB ASC 820, the Company’s pension plan assets at fair value as of December 31, 2013:
	Level One			Level Two			Level Three			Total
Investments
Equity securities	$	43,860		$	50,281		$	13,548		$	107,689
Debt securities		34,438			84,327			-			118,765
Real Estate		-			10,321			-			10,321
Balanced funds		37,572			62,393			3,585			103,550
Cash and cash equivalents		205			-			-			205
Total	$	116,075		$	207,322		$	17,133		$	340,530
The following is a reconciliation for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining fair value:
Beginning balance of assets classified as Level 3 as of January 1, 2012	$	13,539
Net purchases		6,417
Total gains		1,352
Transfer to Level 2		(1,900	)
Ending balance of assets classified as Level 3 as of December 31, 2012	$	19,408
Net purchases		21
Total losses		(1,511	)
Transfer to Level 2		(785	)
Ending balance of assets classified as Level 3 as of December 31, 2013	$	17,133
Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 were accounts mainly in commercial real estate and includes mortgage loans which are backed by the associated properties. It has been determined that the Company has the ability to redeem these investments at Net Asset Value as of the measurement date, therefore the investment is categorized as a Level 2 fair value measurement.
The Company estimates its benefit payments for its domestic and foreign pension plans during the next ten years to be as follows:
	U.S			Non-U.S			Total
2014	$	17,829		$	7,192		$	25,021
2015		17,216			7,357			24,573
2016		17,876			9,340			27,216
2017		17,937			10,487			28,424
2018		18,371			10,580			28,951
2019-2023		96,272			63,253			159,525
The Company estimates it will make minimum funding cash contributions of approximately $13,200 and discretionary cash contributions of approximately $1,300 to its pension plans in 2014.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions	'
	9. Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
	The Company provides certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees and employees in Canada. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service.

	Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the estimated tax effect of accumulated temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes, as well as net operating losses, tax credit and other carryforwards. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31 are as follows:
		2012			2013
	Deferred tax assets:
	Postretirement and other benefits	$	75,927		$	52,097
	Capitalized expenditures		5,365			3,563
	Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards		138,905			143,182

	Total deferred tax liabilities		(87,157	)		(92,194	)
	Valuation allowances		(97,285	)		(122,771	)
	Net deferred tax assets	$	78,173		$	32,179
	Net deferred taxes in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31 are as follows:
		2012			2013
	Current assets	$	16,562		$	12,570
	Non-current assets		72,718			34,235
	Current liabilities		(306	)		(3,480	)
	Non-current liabilities		(10,801	)		(11,146	)
		$	78,173		$	32,179
	At December 31, 2013, certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, primarily in France, Brazil, and Germany, have operating loss carryforwards aggregating $207,000 with indefinite expiration periods. Other foreign subsidiaries in China, Mexico, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, India and Korea have operating losses aggregating $107,000, with expiration dates beginning in 2014. The Company has tax credit carryforwards totaling $35,600 in Poland and the United States with expiration dates beginning in 2017. The deferred tax asset related to foreign tax credit carryforwards is lower than the actual amount reported on the Company’s domestic tax returns by approximately $3,100. This difference is the result of tax deductions in excess of financial statement amounts for stock-based compensation. When these amounts are realized, the Company will record the tax benefit as an increase to additional paid-in capital. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have anticipated tax benefits of state net operating losses and credit carryforwards of $17,500 with expiration dates beginning in 2014.
	The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance related to their net deferred tax assets in several foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had valuation allowances of $122,771 related to tax loss and credit carryforwards and other deferred tax assets in several foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s valuation allowance increased in 2013 primarily as a result of recording a valuation allowance against their net deferred tax asset in Brazil and current year losses with no benefit in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is significantly impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company’s future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowance is eliminated.
	Deferred income taxes have not been provided on approximately $450,000 of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as such amounts are considered permanently reinvested. It is not practical to estimate any additional income taxes and applicable withholding taxes that would be payable on remittance of such undistributed earnings.
	At December 31, 2013, the Company has $7,012 ($7,073 including interest and penalties) of total unrecognized tax benefits. Of this total, $6,797 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate. The total unrecognized tax benefits differ from the amount which would affect the effective tax rate due primarily to the impact of the valuation allowance.
	A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
		Year Ended December 31,
		2011			2012			2013
Balance at beginning of period	$	2,758		$	3,303		$	4,900
Tax positions related to the current period

Lapses on statutes of limitations		(405	)		-			-
Balance at end of period	$	3,303		$	4,900		$	7,012
The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service completed an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns through 2008. The Company is nearly complete with the examination for tax years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011. U.S. state and local jurisdictions tax claims for any taxable year prior to 2009 are generally limited to the amount of any claims they filed in the Bankruptcy Court by February 3, 2010. The Company’s major foreign jurisdictions are Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, and Poland. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations in major foreign jurisdictions for years prior to 2007.
During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that, as a result of audit settlements, the conclusion of current examinations and the expiration of the statute of limitations in certain jurisdictions, the Company may decrease the amount of its gross unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $1,955, of which an immaterial amount, if recognized, could impact the effective tax rate.
The Company classifies all tax related interest and penalties as income tax expense. The Company has recorded in liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, $46 and $61 respectively, for tax related interest and penalties on its consolidated balance sheets.

	13. Contingent Liabilities
	Employment Contracts
	The Company has employment arrangements with certain key executives that provide for continuity of management. These arrangements include payments of multiples of annual salary, certain incentives, and continuation of benefits upon the occurrence of specified events in a manner that is believed to be consistent with comparable companies.
	Unconditional Purchase Orders
	Noncancellable purchase order commitments for capital expenditures made in the ordinary course of business were $36,119 and $65,459 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
	Legal and Other Claims
	The Company is periodically involved in claims, litigation, and various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably with respect to the Company. If appropriate, the Company establishes a reserve estimate for each matter and updates such estimate as additional information becomes available. Based on the information currently known to the Company, they do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on their financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
	Environmental
	The Company is subject to a broad range of federal, state, and local environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations in the United States and other countries, including those governing: emissions to air, discharges to water, noise and odor emissions; the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment, reclamation and disposal of chemicals and waste materials; the cleanup of contaminated properties; and human health and safety. The Company may incur substantial costs associated with hazardous substance contamination or exposure, including cleanup costs, fines, and civil or criminal sanctions, third party property or natural resource damage, personal injury claims or costs to upgrade or replace existing equipment as a result of violations of or liabilities under environmental laws or the failure to maintain or comply with environmental permits required at their locations. In addition, many of the Company’s current and former facilities are located on properties with long histories of industrial or commercial operations and some of these properties have been subject to certain environmental investigations and remediation activities. The Company maintains environmental reserves for certain of these sites. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has $7,656 reserved in accrued liabilities and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet on an undiscounted basis, which they believe are adequate. Because some environmental laws (such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and analogous state laws) can impose liability retroactively and regardless of fault on potentially responsible parties for the entire cost of cleanup at currently or formerly owned or operated facilities, as well as sites at which such parties disposed or arranged for disposal of hazardous waste, the Company could become liable for investigating or remediating contamination at their current or former properties or other properties (including offsite waste disposal locations). The Company may not always be in complete compliance with all applicable requirements of environmental laws or regulation, and the Company may receive notices of violation or become subject to enforcement actions or incur material costs or liabilities in connection with such requirements. In addition, new environmental requirements or changes to interpretations of existing requirements, or in their enforcement, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. The Company has made and will continue to make expenditures to comply with environmental requirements. While the Company’s costs to defend and settle known claims arising under environmental laws have not been material in the past and are not currently estimated to be material, such costs may be material in the future.

	16. Net Income Per Share Attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.
	Basic net income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed using the two-class method by dividing net income attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc., after deducting dividends on the Company’s 7% cumulative participating convertible preferred stock (“7% preferred stock”), premium paid for redemption of 7% preferred stock and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period excluding unvested restricted shares. The Company’s shares of 7% preferred stock outstanding are considered participating securities. Diluted net income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed using the treasury stock method by dividing diluted net income available to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, using the average share price during the period. Diluted net income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. computed using the two-class method was antidilutive. A summary of information used to compute basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. is shown below:

	Warrants
	An aggregate of 2,419,753 warrants have been issued and 2,419,753 shares of common stock are issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The warrants are exercisable into shares of common stock at an exercise price of $27.33 per share or on a cashless (net share settlement) basis and are subject to certain customary anti-dilution protections. The warrants may be exercised at any time prior to the close of business on November 27, 2017. The warrants are not redeemable. Warrant holders do not have any rights or privileges of holders of common stock until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation	'
	18. Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company measures stock-based compensation expense at fair value in accordance with the provisions of U.S. GAAP and recognizes such expense over the vesting period of the stock-based employee awards.
	In 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. Management Incentive Plan (the “Management Incentive Plan”). In 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved adoption of the 2011 Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). The Omnibus Plan replaces the Management Incentive Plan and provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, shares of common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, restricted preferred stock, incentive awards and certain other types of awards to key employees and directors of the Company and its affiliates.
	In accordance with the Management Incentive Plan and the Omnibus Plan, stock based compensation awards that settle in shares of Company stock may be delivered on a gross settlement basis or a net settlement basis, as determined by the recipient.
	The compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock granted to key employees and directors of the Company, which is quantified below, does not represent payments actually made to these employees. Rather, the amounts represent the non-cash compensation expense recognized by the Company in connection with these awards for financial reporting purposes. The actual value of these awards to the recipients will depend on the trading price of the Company’s stock when the awards vest.
	Stock Options. Stock option awards are granted at the fair market value of the Company’s stock price at the date of the grant and have a 7 or 10 year term. The stock option grants vest over three, four or five years from the date of grant.
	A summary of stock option transactions and related information for the year ended December 31, 2013 is presented below:
		Options			Weighted		Weighted		Aggregate
					Average		Average		Intrinsic Value
					Exercise Price		Remaining
							Contractual
							Life (Years)
	Outstanding at January 1, 2013		1,083,773		$	35.81
	Granted		191,090		$	39.15

	Exercisable at December 31, 2013		317,271		$	30.13		6.4	$	6,023
	The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 was $20.53, $19.45 and $13.95, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 was $599, $1,326 and $2,588, respectively.
	The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total excess of the $49.11 closing price of Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. common stock on the last trading day of 2013 over the price of the stock option, multiplied by the related number of options exercised, outstanding and exercisable. The aggregate intrinsic value is not recognized for financial accounting purposes and the value changes based on the daily changes in fair market value of the Company’s common stock.
	Total compensation expense recognized for stock options amounted to $3,198, $4,097 and $3,815 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, unrecognized compensation expense for stock options amounted to $6,577. Such cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.5 years.
	For the years 2011 and 2012, the Company used expected volatility of similar entities to develop the expected volatility. For 2013, expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected option life was calculated using the simplified method. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a term equal to the expected option life on the date the stock options were granted. Fair value of the shares that are accounted for under ASC 718 was estimated at the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions were used for the 2011, 2012 and 2013 grants:
		2011		2012	2013
	Expected volatility	45.83%		53.6% - 58.74%	28.43% - 29.03%
	Dividend yield	0.00%		0.00%	0.00%
	Expected option life - years	6		5.0 - 6.25	6
	Risk-free rate	1.9% - 2.9%		1.0% - 1.6%	0.9% - 1.8%
	Restricted Shares of Common Stock and Units. The fair value of the restricted shares of common stock and units is determined based on the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. The restricted shares of common stock and units vest over three or four years.

	19. Business Segments
	ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes the standards for reporting information about operating segments in financial statements. The Company organized, managed and reported its global business operations through two geographic segments in the first quarter of 2013. In April 2013, the Company implemented organizational and management changes of its global business operations resulting in four reportable segments associated with geographic regions. In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company revised its segment disclosures beginning with the second quarter of 2013 from the two reportable segments, North America and International, to four reportable segments, North America, Europe, South America and Asia Pacific. The Company’s principal products within each of these segments are sealing and trim systems, fuel and brake delivery systems, fluid transfer systems, thermal and emissions systems, and anti-vibration systems. The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment profit before tax. The results of each segment include certain allocations for general, administrative, interest, and other shared costs. Prior periods have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. Due to this segment revision, the Company has also revised the previously reported amounts in Note 6. “Goodwill and Intangibles” to conform to the new segment presentation. The accounting policies of the Company’s business segments are consistent with those described in Note 2. “Significant Accounting Policies.”

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	20. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Fair values of the Senior Notes approximated $480,938 and $477,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, based on quoted market prices, compared to the recorded value of $450,000. This fair value measurement is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
	Fair values of the Senior PIK Toggle Notes approximated $197,466 at December 31, 2013 based on quoted market prices, compared to the recorded value of $196,484. This fair value measurement is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
	Fair values of the 7% preferred stock approximated $169,193 at December 31, 2012, compared to the recorded values of $121,649 at December 31, 2012. The fair values were determined based on the contingent claims valuation methodology utilizing the principles of option pricing theory. This fair value measurement is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. All outstanding 7% preferred stock was converted to common stock in November 2013, see Note 17. “Equity and 7% Preferred Stock” for additional information.
	The Company completed an agreement with Fonds de Modernisation des Equipementiers Automobiles (“FMEA”) on May 2, 2011, to establish a joint venture that combined the Company’s French body sealing operations and the operations of Société des Polymères Barre-Thomas (“SPBT”). SPBT was a French supplier of anti-vibration systems and low pressure hoses, as well as body sealing products, which FMEA acquired as a preliminary step to the joint venture transaction. SPBT changed its name to Cooper Standard France SAS (“CS France”) subsequent to the transaction. The Company has 51% ownership and FMEA has 49% ownership in CS France. In connection with the investment in CS France, the noncontrolling shareholders have the option, which is embedded in the noncontrolling interest, to require the Company to purchase the remaining 49% noncontrolling share at a formula price designed to approximate fair value based on operating results of the entity.
	The noncontrolling interest is redeemable at other than fair value as the put value is determined based on a formula. The Company records the noncontrolling interests in CS France at the greater of 1) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling shareholders’ share of net income or loss and its share of other comprehensive income or loss and dividends (“carrying amount”) or 2) the cumulative amount required to accrete the initial carrying amount to the redemption value. According to authoritative accounting guidance, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was classified outside of permanent equity, in mezzanine equity, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
	Prior to December 31, 2013, the Company was accreting the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in CS France to redemption value. At December 31, 2013, the estimated redemption value of the put option relating to the noncontrolling interest in CS France is $0. As such, the prior period accretion amounts were reversed resulting in the balance in redeemable noncontrolling interest being recorded at zero related to CS France. The initial carrying amount of FMEA’s interest in CS France, decreased for their interest in CS France’s net loss since inception, at December 31, 2013 is $2,420. This balance is recorded in noncontrolling interest in equity which decreases total equity. This reclassification reflects the fact that the redemption value of the put is $0. The redemption amount, if any, related to the put option is guaranteed by the Company and secured with the CS France shares held by a subsidiary of the Company. The Company has determined that the non-recurring fair value measurement related to this calculation relies primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company’s assumptions, as observable inputs are not available. As such, the Company has determined that this fair value measurement resides within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. To determine the fair value of the put option, the Company utilizes the projected cash flows expected to be generated by the joint venture, then discounts the future cash flows by using a risk-adjusted rate for the Company.
	According to authoritative accounting guidance for redeemable noncontrolling shareholders’ interests, to the extent the noncontrolling shareholders have a contractual right to receive an amount upon exercise of a put option that is other than fair value, and such amount is greater than carrying value, then the noncontrolling shareholder has, in substance, received a dividend distribution that is different than other common stockholders. Therefore the redemption amount in excess of fair value should be reflected in the computation of earnings per share available to the Company’s common stockholders. At December 31, 2013 there was no difference between redemption value and fair value.
	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
	The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including forwards and swap contracts, to manage its exposures to fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates. For a fair value hedge, both the effective and ineffective, if significant, portions are recorded in earnings and reflected in the consolidated statements of net income. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheet. The ineffective portion, if significant, is recorded in other income or expense. When the underlying hedged transaction is realized or the hedged transaction is no longer probable, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings and reflected in the consolidated statements of net income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
	The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the cash flow hedges. The Company also formally assesses whether a cash flow hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	Forward foreign exchange contracts – The Company enters into forward contracts to hedge currency risk of the U.S. Dollar against the Mexican Peso, the Romanian Leu against the Euro and the Euro against the Polish Zloty and the U.S. Dollar. The forward contracts are used to mitigate the potential volatility to earnings and cash flow arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the Company’s foreign currency transactions. The gains or losses on the forward contracts are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into cost of products sold was ($204) for the year ended December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013 all forward foreign exchange contracts were settled.
	Interest rate swaps – The Company had an interest rate swap contract to manage cash flow fluctuations of variable rate debt due to changes in market interest rates. This contract, which fixed the interest payment of a certain variable rate debt instrument, was accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense for this swap was $103 and ($209) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The interest rate swap contract was settled as of September 30, 2013.
	Undesignated Derivatives
	As part of the FMEA joint venture, SPBT had undesignated derivative forward contracts to hedge currency risk of the Euro against the Polish Zloty which are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The forward contracts are used to mitigate the potential volatility of cash flows arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the Company’s foreign currency transactions. These foreign currency derivative contracts relate to hedge transactions through April 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the notional amount of these contracts was $6,203. At December 31, 2013, the fair value of the Company’s undesignated derivative forward contracts was a net asset of $35 and is recorded in other current assets and accrued liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The unrealized gain or loss on the forward contracts is reported as a component of other income (expense), net. The unrealized gain for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 was $4,392 and $80, respectively.
	Fair Value Measurements
	ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
		Level 1:	Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
		Level 2:	Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
		Level 3:	Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
	Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and interest rate derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. The Company also considers the risk of non-performance in the estimation of fair value, and includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measure of fair value of derivative instruments. In certain instances where market data is not available, the Company uses management judgment to develop assumptions that are used to determine fair value. Fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, are shown below:
			December 31, 2012

	Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
	In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these non-recurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For further information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis see Note 2. “Significant Accounting Policies,” Note 3. “Acquisitions,” Note 4. “Restructuring,” Note 5. “Property, Plant and Equipment,” and Note 6. “Goodwill and Intangibles.”

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Principles of combination and consolidation	'
	Principles of combination and consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the wholly-owned and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries controlled by the Company. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.
	The equity method of accounting is followed for investments in which the Company does not have control, but does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. Generally this occurs when ownership is between 20% to 50%. The cost method is followed in those situations where the Company’s ownership is less than 20% and the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.
	The Company’s investment in Nishikawa Standard Company (“NISCO”), a 40% owned joint venture in the United States, is accounted for under the equity method. This investment is in the Company’s North America segment. This investment totaled $17,424 and $17,162 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In 2012, the Company received from NISCO a dividend of $800, all of which was related to earnings. In 2013, the Company received from NISCO a dividend of $4,000, consisting of $1,880 related to earnings and a $2,120 return of capital.
	The Company’s investment in Guyoung, a 17% owned joint venture in Korea, is accounted for under the cost method. This investment is in the Company’s Asia Pacific segment. This investment totaled $2,014 and $1,886 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During 2013, the Company sold shares of its investment in Guyoung which decreased the ownership percentage from 20% to 17%.
	The Company’s investment in Huayu-Cooper Standard Sealing Systems Co. Ltd. (“Huayu”), a 47.5% owned joint venture in China, is accounted for under the equity method. This investment is in the Company’s Asia Pacific segment. This investment totaled $26,815 and $29,270 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In 2012, the Company received from Huayu a dividend of $2,519 all of which was related to earnings. In 2013, the Company received from Huayu a dividend of $2,094, all of which was related to earnings.
	The Company’s investment in NISCO Thailand, a 20% owned joint venture in Thailand, is accounted for under the equity method. This investment is in the Company’s Asia Pacific segment. This investment totaled $13,056 and $14,839 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In 2012, the Company received from NISCO Thailand a dividend of $82, all of which was related to earnings. In 2013, the Company received from NISCO Thailand a dividend of $1,374, all of which was related to earnings.
	The Company’s investment in Sujan Barre Thomas AVS Private Limited, a 50% owned joint venture in India, is accounted for under the equity method. This investment is in the Company’s Europe segment. This investment totaled $2,944 and $3,329 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Foreign currency	'
	Foreign currency – The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at the end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and at a weighted average exchange rate for each period for revenues and expenses. Translation adjustments for those subsidiaries whose local currency is their functional currency are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Transaction related gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized in earnings as incurred, except for those intercompany balances which are designated as long-term.
Cash and cash equivalents	'
	Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable	'
	Accounts receivable – The Company records trade accounts receivable when revenue is recorded in accordance with its revenue recognition policy and relieves accounts receivable when payments are received from customers. Generally the Company does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.
Allowance for doubtful accounts	'
	Allowance for doubtful accounts – The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through charges to the provision for bad debts when it is probable that the outstanding receivable will not be collected. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on a periodic basis. The evaluation includes historical trends in collections and write-offs, management’s judgment of the probability of collecting accounts and management’s evaluation of business risk. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to revision as more information becomes available. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $3,727 and $6,317 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Advertising expense	'
	Advertising expense – Expenses incurred for advertising are generally expensed when incurred. Advertising expense was $1,463 for 2011, $1,839 for 2012 and $3,059 for 2013.
Inventories	'
	Inventories – Inventories are valued at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company records inventory reserves for inventory in excess of production and/or forecasted requirements and for obsolete inventory in production. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, inventories are reflected net of reserves of $20,987 and $19,954, respectively.
		December 31,
		2012		2013
	Finished goods	$	37,415	$	48,787
	Work in process		32,383		38,929
	Raw materials and supplies		73,455		92,050
		$	143,253	$	179,766
Derivative financial instruments	'
	Derivative financial instruments – Derivative financial instruments are utilized by the Company to reduce foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting, and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. On the date the derivative is established, the Company designates the derivative as either a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a net investment hedge in accordance with its established policy. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Income taxes	'
	Income taxes – Income tax expense in the consolidated statements of net income is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes using the liability method.
	Deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.
Long-lived assets	'
	Long-lived assets – Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using primarily the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the expected life of the asset or term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Intangibles with finite lives, which include technology and customer relationships, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired and the undiscounted net cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying value. If the net carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss exists and is calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis or estimated salvage value. Discounted cash flows are estimated using internal budgets and assumptions regarding discount rates and other factors.
Pre-Production Costs Related to Long Term Supply Arrangements	'
	Pre-Production Costs Related to Long Term Supply Arrangements – Costs for molds, dies, and other tools owned by the Company to produce products under long-term supply arrangements are recorded at cost in property, plant, and equipment and amortized over the lesser of three years or the term of the related supply agreement. The amounts capitalized were $2,593 and $2,026 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The Company expenses all pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer. Reimbursable tooling costs included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were $3,877 and $13,786 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Reimbursable tooling costs are recorded in tooling receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets if considered a receivable in the next twelve months. Tooling receivable for customer-owned tooling for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 was $116,947 and $156,205, respectively, of which $78,403 and $99,687, respectively, was not yet invoiced to the customer.
Goodwill	'
	Goodwill – Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment, either annually or when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist, by reporting unit which is determined in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” The Company utilizes an income approach to estimate the fair value of each of its reporting units. The income approach is based on projected debt-free cash flow which is discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. The Company believes that this approach is appropriate because it provides a fair value estimate based upon the reporting unit’s expected long-term operating cash flow performance. Fair value is estimated using recent automotive industry and specific platform production volume projections, which are based on both third-party and internally-developed forecasts, as well as commercial, wage and benefit, inflation and discount rate assumptions. Other significant assumptions include the weighted average cost of capital, terminal value growth rate, terminal value margin rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. While there are inherent uncertainties related to the assumptions used and to management’s application of these assumptions to this analysis, the Company believes that the income approach provides a reasonable estimate of the fair value of its reporting units. The guideline public company method, a form of the market approach, was used to corroborate the results of the Company’s income approach conclusions. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of October 1st of each year.
	The Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the first step of the goodwill test. For 2013, the Company decided to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the first step of the goodwill impairment test. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, then the Company concludes that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is required to measure possible goodwill impairment loss. The second step includes hypothetically valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared to the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, the Company would recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value. The 2013 annual goodwill impairment analysis resulted in no impairment.
Revenue Recognition and Sales Commitments	'
	Revenue Recognition and Sales Commitments – Revenue is recognized when there is evidence of a sales agreement, the delivery of the goods has occurred, the sales price is fixed and deliverable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company generally enters into agreements with their customers to produce products at the beginning of a vehicle’s life. Although such agreements do not generally provide for minimum quantities, once they enter into such agreements, fulfillment of their customers’ purchasing requirements can be their obligation for an extended period or the entire production life of the vehicle. These agreements generally may be terminated by their customer at any time. Historically, terminations of these agreements have been minimal. In certain limited instances, the Company may be committed under existing agreements to supply products to their customers at selling prices which are not sufficient to cover the direct cost to produce such products. In such situations, they recognize losses as they are incurred.
	The Company receives blanket purchase orders from many of its customers on an annual basis. Generally, such purchase orders and related documents set forth the annual terms, including pricing, related to a particular vehicle model. Such purchase orders generally do not specify quantities. The Company recognizes revenue based on the pricing terms included in the annual purchase orders as products are shipped to the customers. As part of certain agreements, the Company is asked to provide its customers with annual cost reductions. The Company accrues for such amounts as a reduction of revenue as products are shipped to the customers. In addition, the Company generally has ongoing adjustments to pricing arrangements with its customers based on the related content and cost of the products. Such pricing accruals are adjusted as they are settled with the customers.
	Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling are included in sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income.
Research and development	'
	Research and development – Costs are charged to selling, administration and engineering expenses as incurred and totaled $83,906 for 2011, $94,171 for 2012 and $103,475 for 2013.
Stock-based compensation	'
	Stock-based compensation – The Company measures stock-based compensation expense at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and recognizes such expenses over the vesting period of the stock-based employee awards. See Note 18. “Stock-Based Compensation” for additional information.
Use of estimates	'
	Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of (1) revenues and expenses during the reporting period and (2) assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications – Certain amounts in prior periods’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, $32,616 was reclassified from accounts receivable, net to other current assets to conform to the current period presentation.
Recent accounting pronouncements	'
	Recent accounting pronouncements
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU requires that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit be offset against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This ASU permits use of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes and removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The guidance is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU requires companies to present the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The effects of adoption were not significant and the additional required disclosures are included in Note 12. “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).”
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This ASU permits companies to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired before performing the quantitative impairment test. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The impact of the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires additional disclosures regarding offsetting and related arrangements. The issuance of ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, limited the scope of ASU 2011-11 to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement. The provisions of these updates were effective as of January 1, 2013. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
