The driver's side wiper parks pretty close to the center of the car. I tried tuft testing with no wipers, driver's wiper and both wipers. All tufts were tight against the glass, with a little more "wagging" on the driver's side. But I saw no difference with or without wipers.

This is with just the driver's wiper, but the tufts looked the same in each test.
