Default weather stripping

Hello,

I've been jealousy living through you all for a while now and finally decided to look for my very own. Today, I test drove an '08 Roadster, 58K mi. A beauty!! I am hoping to get the insight and knowledge from all of you veteran owners. The weather stripping where the convertible top meets the car (kinda u shaped. I guess that's it) was made of what looks like black tape and one section is not lying flat. It has creases or bunches in it (several, together, about 8 inches of space). When I asked about it, the salesman said that he thought it was a natural wear or from the top rubbing it. So, when I got home, I took a closer look at a friend's Audi that is also a convertible- no bunching and it was made of rubber. Is tape the right material? Is creasing or bunching normal? I wish I'd taken a picture. The car is about three hours away, so I won't be able to get one soon, so I'd really appreciate any insight that you can provide.
