How do you applicate see-through (vision) vinyl with polyester laminate on a convex rear window? I tried to do it in two times: First see-trougand second polyester film. I just got awful creases.
Any advice would be welcomed

I'm probably of no help whatsoever since I haven't tried this type of application. My recollection is that polyester has very little stretch, therefore, it will not conform to complex curves without wrinkling. The polyester may be the problem. I'm sure one of the experts will chime in with some good suggestions.

Polyester wouldn't be my choice for overlaminates, especially for applications involving curved surfaces. Polyester has a different "personality" where this is concerned compared to casts vinyl.
If possible, I'd recommend applying the see-thru vinyl first and then applying a clear cast vinyl for the overlaminate. Personally, I would use a tedlar film for the overlaminate. It is thinner and seems to conform better (besides the UV protection it provides).
But I don't know what Tedlar is , nor if it's available in my country.
Vinyl don't seems to works since it loose it's transparency after a while.
