A resistor is going to affect the power available to raise the window. It’s not a good idea imho unless you get clever and place a schottky diode in parallel with it such that the resistor is bypassed by the diode in the up direction. 10k is pretty far off the mark imho, I think you are probably looking for something less than one ohm, certainly less than 10 ohms. It also needs to be rated for high current, around 20 amps.

The kit I installed in my 69 Camaro several years ago did not drop quickly but the ones I have installed recently do have that characteristic. It seems they changed something....
