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. 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, 2020 (the “2020 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 March 31, 2021 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.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	Divestiture 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 and during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $74,079 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. 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.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]	Revenue Revenue is recognized for manufactured parts at a point in time, generally when products are shipped or delivered. The Company usually enters into agreements with customers to produce products at the beginning of a vehicle’s life. Blanket purchase orders received from customers and related documents generally establish the annual terms, including pricing, related to a vehicle model. Customers typically pay for parts based on customary business practices with payment terms generally between 30 and 90 days. Revenue by customer group for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was as follows: North America Europe Asia Pacific South America Corporate, Eliminations and Other Consolidated Passenger and Light Duty $ 331,613 $ 159,781 $ 113,041 $ 15,479 $ — $ 619,914 Commercial 4,281 5,881 1,182 7 1,251 12,602 Other 3,142 114 2 — 33,193 36,451 Revenue $ 339,036 $ 165,776 $ 114,225 $ 15,486 $ 34,444 $ 668,967 Revenue by customer group for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was as follows: North America Europe Asia Pacific South America Corporate, Eliminations and Other Consolidated Passenger and Light Duty $ 325,982 $ 170,781 $ 78,742 $ 20,439 $ — $ 595,944 Commercial 3,178 5,557 546 10 1,134 10,425 Other 5,641 8,904 56 22 33,898 48,521 Revenue $ 334,801 $ 185,242 $ 79,344 $ 20,471 $ 35,032 $ 654,890 The passenger and light duty group consists of sales to automotive OEMs and automotive suppliers, while the commercial group represents sales to OEMs of on- and off-highway commercial equipment and vehicles. The other customer group includes sales related to specialty and adjacent markets. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues were generated from sealing, fuel and brake delivery and fluid transfer systems for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks manufactured by global OEMs. A summary of the Company’s products is as follows: Product Line Description Sealing Systems Protect vehicle interiors from weather, dust and noise intrusion for improved driving experience; provide aesthetic and functional class-A exterior surface treatment Fuel & Brake Delivery Systems Sense, deliver and control fluids to fuel and brake systems Fluid Transfer Systems Sense, deliver and control fluids and vapors for optimal powertrain & HVAC operation Revenue by product line for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was as follows: North America Europe Asia Pacific South America Corporate, Eliminations and Other Consolidated Sealing systems $ 121,175 $ 129,361 $ 69,673 $ 11,274 $ — $ 331,483 Fuel and brake delivery systems 112,656 30,790 28,369 2,865 — 174,680 Fluid transfer systems 105,205 5,625 16,183 1,347 — 128,360 Other — — — — 34,444 34,444 Consolidated $ 339,036 $ 165,776 $ 114,225 $ 15,486 $ 34,444 $ 668,967 Revenue by product line for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was as follows: North America Europe Asia Pacific South America Corporate, Eliminations and Other Consolidated Sealing systems $ 124,556 $ 127,246 $ 49,024 $ 13,549 $ — $ 314,375 Fuel and brake delivery systems 104,934 28,562 19,818 5,747 — 159,061 Fluid transfer systems 105,311 21,945 10,502 1,175 — 138,933 Other — 7,489 — — 35,032 42,521 Consolidated $ 334,801 $ 185,242 $ 79,344 $ 20,471 $ 35,032 $ 654,890 Contract Estimates The amount of revenue recognized is usually based on the purchase order price and adjusted for variable consideration, including pricing concessions. 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 three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company’s contract liabilities consist of advance payments received and due from customers. Net contract assets (liabilities) consisted of the following: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Change Contract assets $ 5,274 $ 777 $ 4,497 Contract liabilities (21) (27) 6 Net contract assets $ 5,253 $ 750 $ 4,503 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were current liabilities of $15,882 and $16,932, respectively, and long-term liabilities of $6,427 and $6,828, respectively.

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 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 March 31, 2021, there were no loans outstanding under the ABL Facility.

Fair Value Measurements and Fin

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments	3 Months Ended

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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Input Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets $ 1,129 $ 1,826 Level 2 Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities (788) (750) 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. “Divestiture” 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: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Aggregate fair value $ 942,438 $ 965,052 Aggregate carrying value (1) 975,550 976,400 (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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the notional amount of these contracts was $66,133 and $97,503, 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 March 31, 2021 2020 Forward foreign exchange contracts $ (548) $ (12,871) 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 March 31, 2021 2020 Forward foreign exchange contracts $ 188 $ 115

Receivables [Abstract]
Accounts Receivable Factoring	Accounts Receivable FactoringAs 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: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Off-balance sheet arrangements $ 80,461 $ 85,108 Accounts receivable factored and related costs throughout the period were as follows: Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Accounts receivable factored $ 117,271 $ 176,508 Costs 154 309

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 expense (benefit), loss before income taxes and the corresponding effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Income tax expense (benefit) $ 936 $ (14,117) Loss before income taxes (33,777) (126,556) Effective tax rate (3) % 11 % The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 varied from prior periods primarily due to the geographic mix of pre-tax losses, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions and U.S. states, and due to a benefit in the three months ended March 31, 2020 for net operating losses carried back up to five years at tax rates in effect during those periods under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), rather than carried forward at current federal tax rates of 21%. The incremental loss in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was driven by impairment charges on held for sale entities for which no tax benefit was recognized. Additionally, a discrete expense of $13,309 for the initial recognition of valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 varied from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions and U.S. states, tax credits, the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, and other permanent items. Additionally, the income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 varied from the U.S. statutory rate as a result of benefits from net operating loss carry backs under the CARES Act. 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.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.	Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. Basic net loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed by dividing net loss attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed using the treasury stock method by dividing diluted net loss 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. Information used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Net loss available to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. common stockholders $ (33,864) $ (110,588) Basic weighted average shares of common stock outstanding 16,951,190 16,883,717 Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents — — Diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding 16,951,190 16,883,717 Basic net loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. $ (2.00) $ (6.55) Diluted net loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. $ (2.00) $ (6.55) Approximately 189,000 and 13,000 securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, because the inclusion of such securities in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The 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 March 31, 2021, 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $12,012 and $13,302, respectively, reserved in accrued liabilities and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets on an undiscounted basis. 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 have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, such costs may be material to the Company’s financial statements in the future.
