The window was broken by a rock a few days ago and the window was covered with plastic until the repair could be done. A few hours after the repair it rained torrentially. Could something in the antenna have been damaged in the rain? Or when the window was broken in the first place?

your going to have to remove the door panel. remove the screws and you will iencounter plastic pieces call christmas trees these are a pain but the sell a tool for these at an auto parts store for about 10 bucks. disconnect the plug if you have power windows, if you have manual windows there is a clip that holds the handle on the shaft. use a small screwdriver to remove this. now you can remove the panel awy from the door. this will allow access to the window regulater. you said it sounded like something is loose. check to see if the control arm is disconnected from the lower part of the window. hope this helps

I just had this exact problem. Wouldn't start or took 15 trys to start, but then ran smoothly. Sometimes a little rough starting on dry days, but pretty much hard starting after rain. I was thinking water in my tank/bad gas, but shooting some starter fluid in my intake didn't give me the initial blast at start up... that certainly indicated that it was electrical...
...but the next day the vehicle stalled in the middle lane of a three lane street, wouldn't restart. After pushing it to the curb, I got to the point where I was checking the wire from the coil to the distributor cap. Two thirds of the wire lifted right out. This wire was in 2 pieces! Amazing that it had been running at all, with this one wire burned down to a whisper, before it broke completely. There were signs of heat/elec damage to the wire also at a point an inch away on this wire.
Replacing the wires is absolutely the first thing to try. It's cheap and easy to do, and it should be done (or the wires inspected/tested) routinely anyway. The coil-to-distributor coil gets more engine heat and more use than any of the indiv spark plug wires and hence wears much faster.
I am betting this wire is much more likely your problem than a coil failure. Good Luck!

check the back of the radio, make sure than the antenna, connector is plug into the radio, if it is, then replace the radio.

I have a discovery 3 and I had the same problem with water in the footwell. The problem was blocked drain holes on the sunroof. The water overflows from the sunroof onto the headlining ( which is plastic coated so the water will not come through it) and then ran down the headlining to the "A" pillar. It ran down the back of the "A" pillar trim and then came out of the joint between the trim lower down by the door hinge area.

When it's running bad does the "check engine light" flash? A flashing check engine light indicates a missfire, which sounds like what's happening. I would look for moisture entry at the ignition coils. You could try misting water on the ignition components with it dark and look or listen for arching. It could be arching in the spark plug tubes so not seeing the arch doesn't necessarily mean it's not happening.
