    Many of the seams in my trunk are covered with some kind of hardened goop. Is this a body putty to just cover the sharp edges, or some kind of sealant, or what? Can I just grind it away or does it perform a useful function?

    It's Seam Sealer and you need it. You should clean out all the loose sealer and apply new sealer.

    If you apply new sealer...Get one meant for bare metal applications or it wont stick well.
