It's normally a rail rather than feet. Some people wrap the rail or put extra carpet etc. in order to protect the carpet from the rust stains (that most car have).

Buy a set of Minor car mats and the back of the seat will rest on the rear footwell mats. They will also protect your new carpets.

As above - shove a rubber mat under the arms.
