Can you tell where it's leaking? The most common place is the top corners by the windshield frame. That's why Chevy put the drip deflectors there - those are the black plastic pieces that are screwed to the windshield frame and the top. If they're in good shape, you might try removing them and reinstalling them with a bead of black RTV between the deflector and the body.

There are a lot of places a Blazer can leak, but if you can determine where the water is coming from it makes it easier to deal with. Right now (since I've replaced my door seals and drip deflectors) mine is leaking right where the top joins the bed rail. I'll have to get new seals for it when I put the top on later this year.
