Ignition switch starting to fail?

Hey all,
I have a '99 boxster base. Turned my windshield wipers on yesterday and nothing! Pulled over and messed about, finally discovered that they'll turn on ok if the key isn't rotated all the way over. So, I'm starting the car normally, then rotating the key a little counter-clockwise and the wipers will turn on. I remember reading about boxsters having a faulty ignition switch (Link below). Am I right in thinking it's just the switch? Sounds like a plastic part replacement, is this difficult? And on that page that I linked to below, the guy says people get the part from autozone or the Audi parts counter, is this a standard part that fits many cars?

From BoxsterInfo, scroll down a little for the paragraph on the ig. switch issue.
