Employee Benefit Plans [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plans	(9) Employee Benefit Plans Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan In March 2009, the Company adopted the Stoneridge, Inc. Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan (“LTCIP”) and granted awards to certain officers and key employees. In May 2009, the LTCIP was approved by the Company's shareholders. The Company granted awards under the LTCIP in 2013 which provided recipients with the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of a specific number of Phantom Shares three years from the date of grant depending on the Company's actual earnings per share performance for each fiscal year of 2013, 2014, and 2015 within the performance period. The Company records an accrual for awards to be paid in the period earned based on anticipated achievement of the performance goal. If the participant voluntarily terminates employment or is discharged for cause, as defined in the LTCIP, the award is forfeited. There was no accrual recorded related to the LTCIP at March 31, 2014 for the 2013 or 2014 performance periods.
