Floorboard removal??

[se33882]

I am going to run some wires from the rear to the front upper dash area and was wondering what is the procedure to remove the floorboards? I have google foed it and haven't found any info or on U tube either. Thanks for any information.
Forgot to include it is a, 2026 Defender HD11 XT Cab model.

not sure if my 2018 is the same as yours, but there are a few plastic rivets that you pull out of the cover in the center of the floor and there you will be able to run anything you need from the front to the back.

It's the same on my 2021 Defender HD8 Max. I just used a flathead screwdriver with a small wedge beneath it and gently pried the little plastic rivets up. There are about 6 of them, if I remember correctly. That will let you lift the floorboard section up and out of the way to run the wires.

I did this to run the control wires to the rocker switch from some rear pod lights up to the dashboard. One caveat though: at least in mine, it looked like there is a hard cooling pipe that runs up to the radiator beneath there. Make sure your wire isn't contacting that or it will likely burn through the heat shielding on the wire. I used zip ties to tie mine up and out of the way from those potentially hot pipes as it routed up to the front.
