Windshield washer fluid nozzle clogged?

My passenger side windshield washer fluid nozzle doesn't work properly. Rather than spraying the fluid, it squirts out through the most extreme ends. Anyone know how to fix this at home?

-could be either frozen/clogged
-nozzle might have to be adjusted

i dont think its frozen. im surprised the people on this board havent jumped all over this, but apparently this is common in the tsx. i think the nozzle just needs to be adjusted. my tsx has done it since the day i picked it up (never bothered taking time to adjust it), and ive had about 3 loaners in the past year and all of them did it as well. nothing that seems to be an issue, just get a pin and stick it in the hole and move it up a little bit.

mine seems to shoot down on the passenger side, and then if i pull the stalk again it goes normal, so go figure. just a suggestion, dont use a toothpick because if it breaks off inside the noozle... then yeah...

Mine was frozen. It started working properly once the weather got milder.

Guys, If you haven't already, get the Rain-X Windshield Fulid. Walmart has it. It's orange color and it works awesome. it never froze my nozzles.

I was using the cheap blue stuff and it was fine but when I started using Rain-X Plus De-Icer it froze! Mine's yellow not orange. I like the smell of these stuff.
