Question:
I would like to install roof rails on a naked roof for Nissan Pathfinder S 2014. Can you please offer me some options.

I spoke with our contacts at Yakima and Thule and at present there is no roof rack available for your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder with Naked Roof due to the fact that there is a piece of plastic trim where the roof rack's pads would go which was broken during test fitting.
If you are looking to haul bikes or cargo you could go with a trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite Hitch, part # 76031, and then go with a bike rack like the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack, # S63360, or a cargo carrier like the Pro Series 24x60 Pro Series Cargo Carrier # 63153.
The Swagman bike rack is one of our most popular 2-bike hanging bike racks. I am including a link to the installation instructions and a video review of the bike rack.
The Pro Series Cargo Carrier is our largest carrier. You will need to check the state and local laws regarding any restrictions there might be on a carrier. It will vary from place to place. I have included a video of this cargo carrier for you to check out.
We do have some roof rack options from Rhino-Rack that fit your Pathfinder. I've linked the selection in case you still would rather go this route.
