Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Overview	Overview Basis of Presentation Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Cooper Standard”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (“CSA U.S.”), is a leading manufacturer of sealing, fuel and brake delivery, and fluid transfer systems. The Company’s products are primarily for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks that are manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and replacement markets. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through its subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2019 and in prior periods, the Company also operated an anti-vibration systems (“AVS”) product line. On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the divestiture of its AVS product line. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. Immaterial Correction of Errors During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company identified errors primarily related to periods prior to fiscal year 2019. The Company concluded these errors were not material individually or in the aggregate to any of the previously reported periods and, therefore, amendments of previously filed reports were not required. Corrections were made to the applicable prior periods reflected in the financial information herein. The following table presents the impact of these corrections on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations: Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 As previously reported Adjustment As corrected As previously reported Adjustment As corrected Sales $ 729,021 $ 10,497 $ 739,518 $ 2,373,865 $ 8,346 $ 2,382,211 Income tax expense (benefit) (574) 1,319 745 45,996 1,005 47,001 Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests 1,745 (202) 1,543 2,447 (411) 2,036 Net income (loss) attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, and all related amendments using the modified retrospective method whereby the cumulative effect of adopting the standard was recognized in equity at the date of initial application. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The most prominent among the changes in the standard is the consideration of losses not yet incurred, but expected, based on current conditions and future forecasts. Adoption of the new standard resulted in an immaterial increase in the allowance for credit losses, which decreased the tooling receivable on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet in 2020. The increase in credit loss expense was recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Adoption of the new standard had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations or on cash provided by (used in) operating, financing or investing activities on its condensed consolidated cash flow statements. The cumulative effects of the changes made to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2020 were as follows: Balance as of December 31, 2019 Adjustments due to adoption of ASC 326 Balance as of Tooling receivable, net $ 148,175 $ (1,573) $ 146,602 Retained earnings 619,448 (1,573) 617,875 The Company considered the issued accounting pronouncement summarized as follows, which will have an immaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements: Standard Description Impact Effective Date ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans Modifies the disclosure requirements for ASC Topic 715 by removing and modifying existing disclosure requirements while also adding new disclosures. The Company expects this standard will primarily result in additional pension disclosures while also removing certain other disclosures. Specifically, the weighted-average interest crediting rate for the cash balance plan and, if needed, an explanation for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period will be added while accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year and the effects of a one-percentage-point change in the assumed health care cost trend rate will be removed.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	Divestitures 2020 Divestiture In the fourth quarter of 2019, management approved a plan to sell its European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses, as well as its Indian operations. The entities and the associated assets and liabilities met the criteria for presentation as held for sale as of March 31, 2020, and depreciation of long-lived assets ceased. The divestiture did not meet the criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation. Upon meeting the criteria for held for sale classification, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $86,470 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 to reduce the carrying value of the held for sale entities to fair value less costs to sell. Fair value, which is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, was determined using a market approach, estimated based on expected proceeds. The fair value less costs to sell were assessed each reporting period that the asset group remained classified as held for sale. The difference between the impairment of the carrying value on the divested assets compared to the impairment recorded in the statements of operations is due to foreign currency translation offset by costs to sell incurred in the second quarter. The impairment charge includes the non-cash cumulative foreign currency translation losses recorded in equity related to the divested entities. On July 1, 2020, the Company completed the divestiture of its European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses, as well as its Indian operations, to Mutares SE & Co. KGaA (“Mutares”). The transaction included payment denominated in Euro of €9,000, which consisted of €6,500 in cash paid and €2,500 in deferred payment obligations, payable in December 2021. Upon finalizing the sale, the Company recorded a loss on deconsolidation of the businesses of $167. In addition, at closing, the Company and Mutares entered into certain ancillary agreements providing for the transition of the European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses and Indian operations. The major classes of assets and liabilities divested were as follows: July 1, 2020 Cash and cash equivalents $ 11,162 Accounts receivable, net 18,825 Tooling receivable, net 4,770 Inventories 17,022 Prepaid expenses 2,728 Other current assets 8,873 Property, plant and equipment, net 39,913 Operating lease right-of-use assets, net 2,946 Intangible assets, net 4,992 Other assets 4,114 Impairment of carrying value (85,622) Total assets divested $ 29,723 Accounts payable $ 13,219 Payroll liabilities 7,135 Accrued liabilities 5,744 Current operating lease liabilities 918 Pension benefits 3,574 Postretirement benefits other than pensions 2,778 Long-term operating lease liabilities 2,286 Other liabilities 1,934 Total liabilities divested $ 37,588 2020 Joint Venture Deconsolidation In the third quarter of 2020, management approved and completed a plan to sell the Company’s entire controlling equity interest of a joint venture in the Asia Pacific region. Upon finalizing the sale, the Company recorded a gain on deconsolidation of the business of $1,334.

The Company accrues for pricing concessions by reducing revenue as products are shipped or delivered. The accruals are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and management’s best judgment. The Company also generally has ongoing adjustments to customer pricing arrangements based on the content and cost of its products. Such pricing accruals are adjusted as they are settled with customers. Customer returns are usually related to quality or shipment issues and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company generally does not recognize significant return obligations due to their infrequent nature. Contract Balances The Company’s contract assets consist of unbilled amounts associated with variable pricing arrangements in its Asia Pacific region. Once pricing is finalized, contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable. As a result, the timing of revenue recognition and billings, as well as changes in foreign exchange rates, will impact contract assets on an ongoing basis. Contract assets were not materially impacted by any other factors during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company’s contract liabilities consist of advance payments received and due from customers. Net contract assets (liabilities) consisted of the following: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Change Contract assets $ 281 $ 1,100 $ (819) Contract liabilities (31) (61) 30 Net contract assets $ 250 $ 1,039 $ (789) Other The Company, at times, enters into agreements that provide for lump sum payments to customers. These payment agreements are recorded as a reduction of revenue during the period the commitment is made. Amounts related to commitments of future payments to customers on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were current liabilities of $8,352 and $12,916, respectively, and long-term liabilities of $6,724 and $9,502, respectively.

Based on the Company’s interim impairment assessment, the Company determined there were no additional indicators of impairment identified during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company continues to monitor the significant global economic uncertainty as a result of COVID-19 to assess the outlook for demand for products and the impact on the Company’s business and overall financial performance. A lack of recovery or further deterioration in market conditions and production volumes, among other factors, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in an impairment charge in future periods. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to machinery and equipment of $1,958 due to the termination of certain customer programs in the Asia Pacific region. The fair value of machinery and equipment was determined using estimated salvage value, which was deemed the highest and best use of the assets. Impairment charges of $4,146 recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 also included an impairment charge recorded in the second quarter related to machinery and equipment in certain Asia Pacific locations. The fair value was determined using estimated orderly liquidation value, which was deemed the highest and best use of the assets.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were as follows: North America Industrial Specialty Group Total Balance as of December 31, 2019 $ 142,187 $ — $ 142,187 Reorganization (14,036) 14,036 — Foreign exchange translation (108) — (108) Balance as of September 30, 2020 $ 128,043 $ 14,036 $ 142,079 The Company’s organizational structure changed on January 1, 2020. See Note 22. “Segment Reporting” for further detail on this reorganization of the Company’s business. Prior to this reorganization, the Company’s North America operating segment was the only reporting unit in which goodwill was recorded. As a result of the reorganization, a portion of the goodwill that was previously attributable to the North America reporting unit was reallocated to the Industrial Specialty Group reporting unit based on the relative fair value approach. The Industrial Specialty Group reporting unit is a component of the Advanced Technology Group operating segment, which is reflected in “Corporate, eliminations and other”. The reorganization of the business represented a triggering event to test goodwill for impairment as of January 1, 2020. No impairment was identified as a result of completing the goodwill impairment test. Goodwill is tested for impairment by reporting unit annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. Other than the reorganization event noted above, there were no other indicators of potential impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company continues to monitor the significant global economic uncertainty as a result of COVID-19 to assess the outlook for demand for products and the impact on the Company’s business and overall financial performance. A lack of recovery or further deterioration in market conditions and production volumes, among other factors, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in an impairment charge in future periods.

These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default for non-investment grade debt securities, which, if any occur, would permit or require the principal, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then-outstanding Senior Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately. The Company paid approximately $6,459 of debt issuance costs in connection with the transaction. Additionally, the Senior Secured Notes were issued at a discount of $5,000. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $6,075 of unamortized debt issuance costs and $4,783 of unamortized original issue discount related to the Senior Secured Notes, which are presented as direct deductions from the principal balance in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Both the debt issuance costs and the original issue discount are amortized into interest expense over the term of the Senior Secured Notes. Term Loan Facility In November 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to its senior term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”), which provides for loans in an aggregate principal amount of $340,000. On May 2, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Term Loan Facility to modify the interest rate. Subsequently, on March 6, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Term Loan Facility to further modify the interest rate. In accordance with this amendment, borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) with respect to Eurodollar rate loans, the greater of the applicable Eurodollar rate and 0.75% plus 2.0% per annum, or (2) with respect to base rate loans, the base rate, (which is the highest of the then current federal funds rate plus 0.5%, the prime rate most recently announced by the administrative agent under the term loan, and the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%) plus 1.0% per annum. The Term Loan Facility matures on November 2, 2023, unless earlier terminated. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $1,828 and $2,273 of unamortized debt issuance costs, respectively, and $1,179 and $1,466 of unamortized original issue discount, respectively, related to the Term Loan Facility, which are presented as direct deductions from the principal balance in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Both the debt issuance costs and the original issue discount are amortized into interest expense over the term of the Term Loan Facility. ABL Facility In November 2016, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement of its ABL Facility, which provided an aggregate revolving loan availability of up to $210,000, subject to borrowing base availability. In March 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment of the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“the Amendment”). As a result of the Amendment, the senior asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) maturity was extended to March 2025 and the aggregate revolving loan availability was reduced to $180,000. The aggregate revolving loan availability includes a $100,000 letter of credit sub-facility and a $25,000 swing line sub-facility. The ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted $100,000 incremental loan facility, for a potential total ABL Facility of $280,000, if requested by the borrowers under the ABL Facility and the lenders agree to fund such increase. No consent of any lender is required to effect any such increase, except for those participating in the increase. As of September 30, 2020, there were no loans outstanding under the ABL Facility. The Company’s borrowing base was $172,770. Net of the greater of 10% of the borrowing base or $15,000 that cannot be borrowed without triggering the fixed charge coverage ratio maintenance covenant and $5,339 of outstanding letters of credit, the Company effectively had $150,154 available for borrowing under its ABL facility. Any borrowings under the ABL Facility will mature, and the commitments of the lenders under the ABL Facility will terminate, on the earlier of March 24, 2025 or the date 91 days prior to the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility (or another fixed asset facility replacing the Term Loan Facility). As a result of the Amendment, the Company wrote off $177 in unamortized debt issuance costs, which are presented in interest expense, net of interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $1,215 and $657, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility, which are presented in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Debt Covenants The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Senior Notes, Senior Secured Notes, Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility as of September 30, 2020. Other Other borrowings as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 reflect borrowings under local bank lines classified in debt payable within one year on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Fair Value Measurements and Fin

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments	Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as 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, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized, 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. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency 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 assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Input Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets $ 153 $ 467 Level 2 Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities (1,876) (42) Level 2 Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring 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 nonrecurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these nonrecurring 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 nonrecurring basis see Note 3. “Divestitures” and Note 8. “Property, Plant and Equipment.” Items Not Carried at Fair Value Fair values of the Company’s Senior Notes, Senior Secured Notes and Term Loan Facility were as follows: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Aggregate fair value $ 806,890 $ 693,600 Aggregate carrying value (1) 977,250 729,800 (1) Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized original issue discount. Fair values were based on quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into derivative instruments primarily to hedge portions of its forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows and designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in order to qualify for hedge accounting. 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, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and reclassified into earnings when the underlying hedged transaction is realized. The realized gains and losses are recorded on the same line as the hedged transaction in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties on its derivative financial instruments. The Company mitigates this credit risk exposure by entering into agreements directly with major financial institutions with high credit standards that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Cash Flow Hedges Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts - The Company uses forward contracts 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 principal currencies hedged by the Company include various European currencies, the Canadian Dollar, and the Mexican Peso. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the notional amount of these contracts was $69,693 and $92,150, respectively, and consisted of hedges of transactions up to December 2021. Pretax amounts related to the Company’s cash flow hedges that were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) were as follows: Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Forward foreign exchange contracts $ 1,051 $ (1,367) $ (8,448) $ 2,443 Pretax amounts related to the Company’s cash flow hedges that were reclassified from AOCI and recognized in cost of products sold were as follows: Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI to Income Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Forward foreign exchange contracts $ (1,764) $ 614 $ (6,315) $ 1,766

Accounts Receivable Factoring	Accounts Receivable Factoring As a part of its working capital management, the Company sells certain receivables through a single third-party financial institution in a pan-European program (the “Factor”). The amount sold varies each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and cash flow needs of the Company. These are permitted transactions under the Company’s credit agreements governing the ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes. The European factoring facility, which was renewed in March 2020, allows the Company to factor up to €120 million of its Euro-denominated accounts receivable, accelerating access to cash and reducing credit risk. The factoring facility expires in December 2023. Costs incurred on the sale of receivables are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The sale of receivables under this contract is considered an off-balance sheet arrangement to the Company and is accounted for as a true sale and is excluded from accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts outstanding under receivable transfer agreements entered into by various locations as of the period end were as follows: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Off-balance sheet arrangements $ 77,856 $ 103,818 Accounts receivable factored and related costs throughout the period were as follows: Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Accounts receivable factored $ 124,910 $ 108,957 $ 352,103 $ 376,944 Costs 120 218 591 691

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company determines its effective tax rate each quarter based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company records the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. Income tax (benefit) expense, income (loss) before income taxes and the corresponding effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Income tax (benefit) expense $ (2,386) $ 745 $ (55,485) $ 47,001 Income (loss) before income taxes 4,323 (5,675) (297,199) 179,878 Effective tax rate (55) % (13) % 19 % 26 % The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 varied from prior periods primarily due to the geographic mix of pre-tax losses driven by the impairment charge on divested entities and the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, a discrete expense of $13,414 for the initial recognition of valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In accordance with recent legislation, one of the business tax provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) allows net operating losses (“NOL”) generated by the Compa ny to be carried back up to five years at the tax rates in effect during those periods, rather than carried forward at current federal tax rates of 21%. The Company has included a $19,764 benefit in the estimated annual effective tax rate for this CARES Act provision which was used to calculate the income tax benefit recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 varies from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions to the extent not offset by other categories of income, tax benefits related to the CARES Act, tax credits, the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, and other permanent items. Further, the Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these valuation allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and ContingenciesThe Company is periodically involved in claims, litigation and various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for litigation exposure when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified. As of September 30, 2020, the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for claims, litigation and various legal matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings or matters. In addition, the Company conducts and monitors environmental investigations and remedial actions at certain locations. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the undiscounted reserve for environmental investigation and remediation was approximately $7,603 and $6,104, respectively.

The Company’s business is now organized in the following reportable segments: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. ATG and all other business activities are reported in Corporate, eliminations and other. The Corporate, eliminations and other External Sales and Intersegment Sales amounts previously reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 have been reclassified from North America and Europe from the table below. The adjusted EBITDA amounts previously reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and Segment Asset amounts previously reported as of December 31, 2019 have been reclassified from North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America from the tables below. The Company’s principal products within each of these segments are sealing, fuel and brake delivery, and fluid transfer systems. During the first quarter of 2019 and in prior periods, the Company also operated an anti-vibration systems product line. On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the divestiture of the AVS product line. The Company uses Segment adjusted EBITDA as the measure of earnings to assess the performance of each segment and determine the resources to be allocated to the segments. The results of each segment include certain allocations for general, administrative and other shared costs. Segment adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Certain financial information on the Company’s reportable segments was as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 External Sales Intersegment Sales Adjusted EBITDA External Sales Intersegment Sales Adjusted EBITDA North America $ 359,007 $ 2,372 $ 58,115 $ 372,104 $ 5,828 $ 59,819 Europe 146,029 2,440 (1,466) 187,438 3,054 6,269 Asia Pacific 131,063 1,008 12,246 123,139 894 (12,080) South America 17,580 4 (2,680) 25,220 18 (2,678) Total Automotive 653,679 5,824 66,215 707,901 9,794 51,330 Corporate, eliminations and other 29,521 (5,824) (2,081) 31,617 (9,794) 2,491 Consolidated $ 683,200 $ — $ 64,134 $ 739,518 $ — $ 53,821 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 External Sales Intersegment Sales Adjusted EBITDA External Sales Intersegment Sales Adjusted EBITDA North America $ 820,145 $ 8,968 $ 52,260 $ 1,198,943 $ 14,894 $ 172,853 Europe 410,076 6,755 (47,492) 634,867 9,261 21,540 Asia Pacific 316,133 1,678 (6,983) 367,086 2,512 (14,313) South America 41,932 72 (11,608) 73,581 71 (4,817) Total Automotive 1,588,286 17,473 (13,823) 2,274,477 26,738 175,263 Corporate, eliminations and other 90,271 (17,473) (7,516) 107,734 (26,738) 663 Consolidated $ 1,678,557 $ — $ (21,339) $ 2,382,211 $ — $ 175,926 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2020 2019 2020 2019 Adjusted EBITDA $ 64,134 $ 53,821 $ (21,339) $ 175,926 Impairment of assets held for sale — — (86,470) — Restructuring charges (6,186) (5,572) (23,236) (29,214) Project costs — (335) (4,234) (2,003) Other impairment charges (100) (1,958) (947) (4,146) Lease termination costs (83) (512) (684) (1,003) Gain on sale of business, net 2,314 (1,730) 2,314 188,180 Divested noncontrolling interest debt extinguishment (3,595) — (3,595) — EBITDA $ 56,484 $ 43,714 $ (138,191) $ 327,740 Income tax benefit (expense) 2,386 (745) 55,485 (47,001) Interest expense, net of interest income (17,985) (10,351) (40,993) (33,858) Depreciation and amortization (36,504) (37,495) (116,727) (111,968) Net income (loss) attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. $ 4,381 $ (4,877) $ (240,426) $ 134,913 September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Segment assets: North America $ 1,001,464 $ 1,040,650 Europe 433,292 553,977 Asia Pacific 561,681 614,952 South America 59,496 65,438 Total Automotive 2,055,933 2,275,017 Corporate, eliminations and other 582,058 360,565 Consolidated $ 2,637,991 $ 2,635,582

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of Presentation Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Cooper Standard”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (“CSA U.S.”), is a leading manufacturer of sealing, fuel and brake delivery, and fluid transfer systems. The Company’s products are primarily for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks that are manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and replacement markets. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through its subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2019 and in prior periods, the Company also operated an anti-vibration systems (“AVS”) product line. On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the divestiture of its AVS product line. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, and all related amendments using the modified retrospective method whereby the cumulative effect of adopting the standard was recognized in equity at the date of initial application. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The most prominent among the changes in the standard is the consideration of losses not yet incurred, but expected, based on current conditions and future forecasts. Adoption of the new standard resulted in an immaterial increase in the allowance for credit losses, which decreased the tooling receivable on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet in 2020. The increase in credit loss expense was recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Adoption of the new standard had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations or on cash provided by (used in) operating, financing or investing activities on its condensed consolidated cash flow statements. The cumulative effects of the changes made to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2020 were as follows: Balance as of December 31, 2019 Adjustments due to adoption of ASC 326 Balance as of Tooling receivable, net $ 148,175 $ (1,573) $ 146,602 Retained earnings 619,448 (1,573) 617,875 The Company considered the issued accounting pronouncement summarized as follows, which will have an immaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements: Standard Description Impact Effective Date ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans Modifies the disclosure requirements for ASC Topic 715 by removing and modifying existing disclosure requirements while also adding new disclosures. The Company expects this standard will primarily result in additional pension disclosures while also removing certain other disclosures. Specifically, the weighted-average interest crediting rate for the cash balance plan and, if needed, an explanation for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period will be added while accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year and the effects of a one-percentage-point change in the assumed health care cost trend rate will be removed.
