Clicking noise from passenger side - dash
We seem to have a clicking noise from the passenger side of the dashboard.
It is steady and does not appear to be speed related. And only appears to occur when moving
It appears to be coming from behind the glove box - the area where the cabin filter is located. I did check the area (through the glove box ) could not see anything.
Any others experience similar?

Sounds like it's one of the climate control servos, if it's near the cabin air filter it may be the servo that switches between fresh air and recirculation. Or, it may just be a leaf/other debris that got in and is rubbing on the blower fan.
EDIT: Reading comprehension probs! Didn't realize you said it only happened when moving, if that is the case it's likely unrelated to the above.

In my case ....
I found the cause was the horizontal trim piece across the dash on my 2014. I stuffed a little piece of soft foam into the space above the left end of the trim. Problem solved (for me, at least).
I’m sure there a hundred other things that cause such a sound, though.

Problem solved.
Finally found the source - The DashCam was the source. It was faint enough and infrequent enough that it was very hard to localize,\.
