Wind noise
Today I drove the GLC on the freeway at around 130km/h and noticed quite a bit of wind noise.
Is this the general perception? Has it something to do with the roof rails or runner boards perhaps? The noise seems to emanate from the upper side of the drivers door

I didn't notice excess wind noise when I drove it. Did it have the panorama roof and was the screen closed? Having the glass roof does create bit more interior noise but it can be mitigated with the screen.

My GLC has terrible wind noise above 50mph and it can be heard at speeds as low as 35mph if there is anything but the slightest cross wind. It seems exactly like the problem being described by the C Class owners (buffeting at top end of front side windows) and it's driving me crazy.
My dealer is looking into getting the acoustic glass pack fitted under warranty but I have had no confirmation that MB will allow this as it is not supposed to be available on UK spec cars.
MB they claim that they have had no other reports of this issue from any other GLC owners and I am afraid that they are going to deny the problem exists as they did with the C Class.
I will keep you posted with the outcome.
