I also believe the check strap is shot.
As for the "B" pillar covering I used yellow death. When I resurrected the 560 I had the same peeling around the belt slide area. Once I pulled the pillar trim I found it to have separated from the foam just as you described. I cleaned as much of the loose crap as I could, wiped everything with alcohol and let dry. Then I smeared on regular old yellow 3M from the tube; aka: yellow death. Once the pillar liner and the covering tacked up I slowly stretched and fitted the covering back onto the liner. Been holding great now for nearly 3 years. Word of caution with yellow death; you only get one shot to apply the covering. Don't forget that once the slide hole is secured you'll have to glue and wrap the covering around the edge of the liner - use yellow death there as well.
