How to remove decor self leveling sealant from roof

How do I remove Dicor self leveling sealant from roof without damaging the rubber roof. I replaced the crank up antenna with a Jack antenna so there was some sealant from that antenna the the Jack antenna replaced that and it got knocked off by a wayward limb. Then the replacement antenna got knocked off by a branch so there is 3 layers of sealant. Once I get the Dicor off the rubber what is a safe way to remove the residue plus around the crank hole the rubber is coming loose from the roof what should I use to re glue the rubber?

    Everyone keeps saying this, but from my experience mineral spirits leaves an oily residue. This could prevent Dicor from adhereing well.

    Plastic scraper should do the trick. Remove as much as you can, replace the item and reseal with lots more Dicor.
