A housing as in claim 4 , wherein at least one sealing lip is more readily deformable than at least one further sealing lip. 6. A housing as in claim 5 , wherein the softer sealing lip is disposed furthest into the interior of the housing. 7. A housing according to claim 1 , wherein the housing in the proximity of the opening comprises at least one projection. 8. A housing according to claim 1 , wherein securement means for the securement of the cap on the housing are integrated in the cap. 9. A housing according to claim 1 , wherein the housing is a filter housing, in which at least one filter is accessible through the opening. 10. A heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle with at least one housing according to claim 1 . 11. A housing for a motor vehicle comprising: a cap; wherein the housing has an opening therein, wherein the cap comprises a seal on an inner side such that the seal is disposed within the housing when the cap caps the opening, wherein the seal comprises at least one sealing lip, wherein at least one sealing lip is more readily deformable than at least one further sealing lip, and wherein the softer sealing lip is disposed furthest into the interior of the housing.
