1. An actuation device for mounting on a vehicle part comprising:
an electrical switching device with at least one switching element for triggering a vehicle function, and a housing unit with at least a first and a second housing section which at least partially form a housing interior in which the switching element is arranged,
wherein the second housing section is movable from a rest position into an actuation position for actuating the switching element at least in regions relative to the first housing section, and
the housing interior extending at least in regions between the second housing section and a fluid-tight deformation area of the first housing section, which deformation area is mechanically coupled to a circumferential connection area of the first and second housing sections, so that the connection area can also be moved during the movement of the second housing section from the rest position into the actuation position.
