How to adjust windshield sprinkler in accord 2004

When I try to wash the windshield in my accord coupe I see
the stream of water hits the wiper blade, not the glass.

Nowhere in the user manual I can find the procedure...

It this the same as with other, older cars, that you can
put some paper clip end to the sprinkler hole and move it?
I would not like to break it if this is done some other way...

I would use either a straight pin or an unbent safety pin, not a paper
clip. The pins are tapered and will only go in so far. Paper clip may
not even fit. Just insert the pin and move the nozzle around.

what shape is the nozzle? My 2001 Civic has a nozzle that looks like a
horizontal slot, kind of like it fits a slotted screwdriver. I think I
actually adjusted it with my fingernail.

According to Honda's official documentation:
" To adjust the nozzle, use a small, flat-tip screwdriver to push on the
deflector and move the ball. Never stick a needle or any such object in the
nozzle. Adjust the nozzle so the center of the spray hits the middle of the
windshield."

I am not sure if you are aware - honda books and online manuals links
on your website are broken. I am getting 404 - not found error code.

One of the monthly Honda Service News issues. I can't find exactly which
one right now, though.
