  As of Google Maps **4.0.1**, there is a new [`getInfoWindow`](https://plugins.doublesecretagency.com/google-maps/dynamic-maps/javascript-methods/#getinfowindow-infowindowid) method in JavaScript. This makes it easy to retrieve and manipulate existing info windows.
  
  Additionally, I've written a guide for [Opening Info Windows...](https://plugins.doublesecretagency.com/google-maps/guides/opening-info-windows/)
  
  Hope that helps! :)
