Default Cabinet temperature and drivers affected heat/sunlight

We have recently had some warm weather and I noticed the mid woofers on my S1s were pushed out from the cabinet more than usual. I wasn't sure if this could damage the drivers but I decided to remove the top allen screw from the mid woofer and a "psft" of air came out and the drivers returned to their normal place.

Because the S1s are sealed the combination of the sun and heat caused the air inside the cabinet to expand and pushed out the mid woofer. I would guess it was in the low 80s temperature wise but the cabinet were not hot to the touch or anything like that.

I put the allen screw back in and as the air cooled the mid woofer acutally sucked in, I assume as the air inside condensed.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there any reason to be concerned that the cabinet could get too hot and create enough pressure to cause the drivers to be damaged?
