Does pressing anywhere make the rattle go away. My lower driver's door dash trim rattled a lot especially after I installed new speakers with more bass. I fixed it with foam weatherstripping.

Not sure about your boot clicking noise. Thumping noises are normal from the gas tank venting. Is your hatch loose? That has been a documented problem as well. Also rear seat latch rattles.

Dealer experience seems to vary. Toughest thing is to make sure they hear the rattle.

Maybe if you start pushing on stuff the rattle will go away? Depending on how bad it is. I know I have a few little rattles here and there and I pinpoint them by pushing on things and the rattle goes away. Don't usually have to deal with it much after that.

Also I've heard the click as well. But I have traced it to happening when I let off the accelerator at the right rpms. I thought at first it was maybe because I was shifting or something, but with everything off I can definitely hear it coming from the back, and I think to be the driver's side. I've been wondering what this is too! Does anyone know!!!
