Rattle when cold

Well, my baby is 1 year old today :D However, for a while now, I've had a really annoying rattle when cold..It seems to come from the passenger side roll bar cover, but I've had friends kneeling on the passenger seat whilst driving, and they can't find it. The strange thing is, once the car is fully warmed up, the rattle goes..Any ideas :?
 
If it is the passenger roll bar cover then squeezing it while driving should make it go. I had the same issue. The dealer will take it off and pack it with tape under warranty.

The bit of plastic around the seat belt loop rattles a bit also.

Could be the screws on the underside of the metal section between the exterior boot lid and interior boot lid.
 
The bolts mentioned in the last point are on plastic threads, you have to be really careful you don strip the thread if you tighten them.
 
I'd get someone else to drive the car and you listen/find the noise. I've had roll hoops off, tweaked roof mechanisms, lubed hinges, padded everywhere... it turned out to be the roof tray in the boot making the noise. But because I was driving, the noise sounded like the roll hoop/deck/roof.
