Brake Noises

I did some searching to see if any one else had this problem, could not find anything so though that I would post it. My brake pads sound wierd. They have enough meat on them for it not to need new pads but when it rains or there is mositure in the air you kind of let go of the pedal and it sounds bad. It is not a normal wet pad sound. Also if I were to wash my car and let it sit it is and than move it like one or two days later it is like the pads are suck on the rotor and make a clunk noise. The only rotor that is affected by the clunk is the front right. Any ideas on where I can look at? It is still under warranty but I was just wondering if any one else has had this problem or might now if the pads hold too much moisture causing it to stick?

Yes the pads can freeze to the rotors (normal), and the rotors can rust somewhat (normal) after washing. It's best to drive it after washing to dry them b4 parking for the night.
The rusting can cause some grinding also due to rust buildup on the rotors.

It is weird. No other car that I have does that. Does the G have special pads?
