Hello everyone.
The wife has just had a new fiesta style (1.4)
Picked it up yesterday.
Now she complains that there is a rattle inside the car comeing from the passenger side.
She says it sounds a bit like glass wobbling.
Any help or tips apreciated.

Yeah - take the glass off the dashboard ;-)
On a serious note, is it a Mk 6? Were these not diagnosed with some sort of front suspension defect a while back?

Hello.
This is a new mk6 yes.
As its a march the 31st build it should have been ironed out.

Years ago friends of ours were occasionally bothered by a noise from the rear passenger side which could never be traced. One day they had a side-swipe accident and the rear wheel arch had to be reskinned. When the damaged metal was cut away they found an empty beer bottle lying in a box section which had clearly been there since the car was built. I'm not suggesting thats the answer in your case but who knows.

If this vehicle is new get it back to the supplying dealer!

If it isn't new, recent legislation allows to assume that the fault was present on delivery, SFAIK

As it happens you're reminding me of a noise from my MK6 Fiesta, I can almost hear it, but it's been such a while since I owned the car I can't really remember the details.
Anyway, one thing that I do remember was having one of the interior door panels replaced to cure a noise...
I would take it in to the garage and ask them to sort it, you only get the pleasure of that during the first year!

suggest checking the metal rods that operate the door locks, these were quite lose on a previous car of mine and tapped on the metal of the door whilst driving.
