Default Black Caulk on paint

I have some black caulk on the passenger side roof by the top plastic molding. What's a safe way to remove this? I think this is from the installation of the plastic molding.

Hilarious!

Guess I will keep mine "original" then.
Better to have too much than not enough and a leaky window!
