Most likely your wiper switch.

Do the wipers still "park" correctly?

Default Exactly...mine was doign the same and my rear wiper never worked...

..replaced the combo stalk and everything works great; wipers start and park fine via the intermittent 'tap' of the stalk. HTH.

Default So how much do these run? Do I need the whole stock or just the right portion?

I have the squarish shaped stock, not rounded like some of the CQ's and 90's. Also, would it be possible to replace them with the update, more rounded ones just as a direct swap?

I'm pretty sure they are two-piece..and run about $120 each.
I'm not sure about the upgrade...personally, is the rounder look worth 250 bucks?..naaa.
Replacement is really easy: remove steering wheel, loosen stalk clamp, remove harness', detach two sides...install is reverse.
