Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation The 2011 Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) allows for the grant of various types of share-based awards to key employees and directors of the Company and its affiliates. The Company generally awards grants on an annual basis. In February 2017, the Company granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), Performance Units (“PUs”) and stock options. The RSUs cliff vest after three years, the PUs cliff vest at the end of their three-year performance period, and the stock options vest ratably over three years. The number of PUs that will vest depends on the Company’s achievement of target performance goals related to the Company’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”), which may range from 0% to 200% of the target award amount. The grant-date fair value of the RSUs and PUs was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The grant-date fair value of the stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company paid $4,296 of cash to settle PUs that vested in February 2017. Total compensation expense recognized was $6,804 and $4,434 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In the second quarter of 2016, the Company early adopted ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The provisions related to forfeitures were adopted on the modified retrospective basis to record actual forfeitures as they occur in the consolidated financial statements, and the impact from adoption resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of $473 to retained earnings as of January 1, 2016. Provisions related to income taxes and forfeitures were adopted prospectively from January 1, 2016, and resulted in a tax benefit of $787 and additional share-based compensation expense of $63 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Provisions related to the statement of cash flows have been adopted prospectively and resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in cash provided by operating activities instead of financing activities.
