I had my windscreen replaced about a year ago and don't have that thankfully.
If that is an antenna then it's a bloody ridiculous place to put it!!

Does it have the 'signature ' on it?

I recall this was discussed last year. I did a forum search and found the original thread, which you may find helpful:

Hi PH1L,

just for comparison, my Australian GLC 250, (RHD of course). December 2016 build.
My original windscreen, as delivered, has these wires on both sides, near the A pillars.
I have noticed them before, while washing the vehicle. Can't remember if I have noticed them from within the vehicle, if so, it was a rare lighting condition.

Hope you are enjoying your GLC.

I've contacted the dealer and asked them to provide me the part# 2536703300. I've googled the part number and found that there is no mentioned of tv tuner

Is there a way to see the part# on the windscreen?
