Weatherstripping+shocks-are they included in factory warranty?

Hi,I have a Toyota which is still under factory warranty.I have about 800 miles left before it expires.These are the problems:
1.The drivers side door had a wind noise,so I took it to the dealer.He said that the door needs new weatherstripping which would cost $140 [$70 parts and $70 labor]
2.Also,he said the side shocks [left and right] have to be replaced which would cost $200 including parts and labor.
3.There are some minor rattles in the cabin.
So,is weatherstripping and shocks covered under the bumper to bumper warranty?Or are they considered normal wear and tear? Do the rattles come under the factory warranty?
Please,your help is greatly appreciated as I have only about 800 miles left before my factory warranty expires.
Thanks.

The "side shocks" need replacing? Does he mean the suspension struts? $200 for parts and labor sounds awfully cheap to replace all the struts, so I'm curious what they really want to do here.

sounds like wear and tear items to me, but can not figure out what a "side shock" is.

yes the shocks are considered wearable parts.
