After removing most of the interior of my mini i've noticed that all the lines where 2 panels(?) join together seem to be covered with a type of black glue.

i was wondering what this was, why it was there and if i needed to do anything about it. Ie will i need to get it out and replace it? or just paint over it when i paint the inside of the car.

This is a pic of what i'm talking about:
