Are Mesa 4x12 Cabs Sealed?

Are the rear panels sealed using double-sided tape or anything like that? I've read that they're sealed using gaskets. But does that mean the panel can still come off easy without breaking some sort of seal?

Mine came off easy enough. There was some weatherstripping type material in there. But the came off. It is sealed pretty well though, the speaker cable will pop out if the amp is turned up enough. You can see it in the picture.

Great, thank you. So that gasket isn't sticky on the side that touches the rear panel, right?

Mine were a little sticky, but nothing that a little prying didn't fix. As above, it was easy enough.
