Well, my first thought is that it might be valvetrain noise at startup. This is generally more noticable if you're using Fram oil filters. Switching to ACDelco (or another non-Fram-made brand) usually minimizes it. (I've never completely eliminated it in my '90.) Switching to synthetic oil can also help reduce valvetrain noise, as it hangs on the parts a little better than dino oil does. But the window making a similar sound has me baffled. Sorry.
The electrical/wet problem sounds like it might be faulty ignition wires. Apparently, when the insulation starts to go on'em, damp conditions really mess'em up. If they haven't been replaced in the last 30k miles/couple of years, you might want to get a new set of OE Bougicord wires from a site sponsor (I found the best price at eEuroparts).
