I've done several of these and never had to resort to a hammer or mallet.  
Use plenty of soapy water or windex to keep the rubber molding channel wet.  
Start the project at nearly the centerline of the bottom of the windshield.  If 
you're right handed as I am, I find it easier to work from the centerline 
bottom towards the driver side then up the windscreen post and over the top of 
the 
windscreen towards the passenger side.  At that point, you may want to stand 
on the passenger side to complete the job.  Take your time - keep the channel 
wet and feed the molding into the channel at a steady pace pressing down with 
your fingers.  It also helps if you're doing this on a warm day so if you live 
in a northern climate, better get to it soon or plan to do it in a heated 
space!
