Was wondering if anyone has had this issue and if so, what fixed it?
The creaking seems to be coming from the upright passenger pillar between the front and back door. When going about 40 MPH on a street with a few bumps you can hear the creaking sound. This just started for some reason. It's loud enough you can notice it. As the wheels work on the road, there's the creaking too. On the freeway, you don't hear it.

It's the GLE experience. No worries I'm sure your dealer can fix, these are solid built vehicles. Quite surprising.

Had the same thing on my 2020 GLE. Some OEM (!) MB felt and a couple of blind rivets solved the issue on the B-pillar inside housing.

Can you reproduce it buy pressing on it, tapping on it? The best way to get a squeak/creak fixed is to reproduce it for the technician who is going to work on it when you drop it off. Bottomline, if they can hear and find it, they can fix it. Sometimes the metal door latch bar on the B-pillar can cause the metal in the B-pillar to creak. Open the passenger door and yank/pull on the door latch bar on the B-pillar. If it is what is making the B-pillar squeak, then show that to the dealer. They can loosen it, put some silicone grease between it and the pillar, and reinstall it.

Thanks for the heads up suggestion.
This is the first little issue for me on my car since I took possession May 3/21.
been very happy.

Try to move the passenger seat belt adjustment trim piece towards the upward position. It may solve your problem. I had a small noise coming from the area and that did the trick. I have had it in other Benzes...
