Fiesta ST line interior rattle noises

Hey everyone! Newbie and proud owner of the 2016 fiesta ST line red edition.

 

As much as I adore the vehicle, The noises coming from the interior is really starting to irritate me!

1.Coming from what I believe is the passenger side of the dashboard, There's an intermittent rattle that occurs. I have taken this back to Ford who apparently "had a look" but they found nothing (They didn't look behind the dash?)... however a few days previous I unfortunately hit a moderately deep pothole at 30MPH so this may have caused it? I've checked and everything seems mechanically sound on that side of the car

2. From what appears to be from behind the steering wheel is an intermittent rattle, I have checked the trims to make sure they're all in place but I can still hear it.

3. The drivers side seatbelt buckle rubs against the seat/trim and when you move when driving it makes a squeaking noise, I've tried different positions etc but it still does it.

I did have a drivers side door trim rattle which the ford dealership did repair, and fingers crossed it will stay that way!

Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Tom
