Goop In trunk is actually a sealant
The white very sticky "goop" is a sealant that is installed by CTS Car Top Systems the company that makes the Aluminum/magnesium folding hard top for the XLR & the SL 500.
The material is similar to beutyl caulk that is used to hold/seal winshields in place. The material is the secondary water barrier preventing moisture from getting inside the XLR. When CTS Inc. produces the top the White adhesive/sealant may have accidently put a little too much on any given top structure.
To remove the sealant from any surfaces you can use traditional rubbing alcohol. You can clean the surfaces around the weather strips though don't raise them and clean under them. Use the alcohol to clean it off the carpeted area if any has dripped in to the luggage well.
