Windscreen Sealant removal..

so, bit of a strange one, i've just had my rear windscreen replaced and it looks like they've dropped a small amount of the adhesive onto my back bumper and it's stuck on.. so given that I'm not near the dealership for a few days is this something that should come off fairly easy or should i leave it until next going past the dealer?

any help / advice appriciated?

Windscreen sealant is designed to stick, and stick solid. I'd suggest you get a hairdryer and some dental floss and VERY carefully apply a little heat to the adhesive. Don't just point the hairdryer at it - you'll need to move it around so as not to warm the paint up too much. That might soften the adhesive enough to get the dental floss underneath and lift it off. A little tar remover will get rid of any residue.
