Re: windows fog up when raining..
Ya windows do that.. its called condensation.. moisture in the air condenses on the cool glass.
And the bearing sound in the instrument panel is normal.. i think.. my 00 cav does it too..

That is what they made the defrost button for. Defog/defrost. 
But you could roll down all windows if you do not want to use the defrost.

Also a heater core leaking will make them fog up to.
If you have a sweet smell or coolant in the floor board check heater core.
