Dont know if I stumbled upon something or it was happy accident or what. Ive been chasing various water leaks with my Blazer since I got it 10years ago.
One spot was on passenger side, The vent/vacuum thing by the kickpanel wasnt sealed against the body well, so I replaced the seal and made sure the screws were good and tight. This cured ONE of the many leaks. I never had a heater core leak, thanks god, but I did replace it about 8 years ago.
Anyways.was still getting a few drips inside passenger side and was getting a lil bit in driver side as well. If you look at the pic below, there are two "gutters" so to speak that ive highlighted, amazing enough, the passenger side dumps right into where the heater core is, so I sealed that up with puddy I get from work. No more leak.
Was still getting leaks in drivers side, I pulled the dash so I could see if it was the windshield or the cowling. It was too low to be the windshield, so looked at cowling and dumped water into it and got no leak. I started thinking about the "gutter" , sure thing, there is one on the drivers side and it dumps very close to the fuse panel (firewall side) and the Brake peddle assembly bolts. The bolts were tight and didnt look like anything was compromised, so I just got Rubberized Under coating and sprayed this area , except the actual wires going into fuse box, but I sprayed the edges of fuse panel and the bolts for peddle assembly.
We have had some major rains and I have yet see a leak. I made no other changes or adjustments to the truck, other than spray undercoating. No leak and with the rain, prior to me spraying, it wouldve leaked inside.
Anyways. dont know if this would work for anyone but if it helps one other person, ive done my job. lol.

I gave up on that project for now..there is no "GOOD" solution, ill probably just get some wake board speakers and mount them on the roll bar and call it a day. Some sound is better than no sound, lol
