Select a Google Maps Polygon outside map control and modify properties

Question

I'm trying to modify a polygon when an event is triggered outside the map control and seem to be hitting a brick wall.

i have a series of divs to the right of my map and would like to change the strokeweight property on the polygon to a heavier line when the mouseenter event is fired and reset it to the default when the mouse leave is triggered.

i would also like to be able to select the polygon when they click on this div

$( ".zonal" ).mouseenter(function() {
  for (var i = 0; i < gPolygons.length; i++) {
   if(gPolygons[i].id == $(this).attr('id')) 
     {
       gPolygons[i].setOptions({strokeWeight: 6.0});       
     }
  }
});

$( ".zonal" ).mouseleave(function() {
  for (var i = 0; i < gPolygons.length; i++) {
   if(gPolygons[i].id == $(this).attr('id')) 
     {
       gPolygons[i].setOptions({strokeWeight: 2.0}); 
     }
  }
});

i have pushed the polygons out to an array and tried using the following but it doesn't work

gPolygons[i].setOptions({strokeWeight: 6.0}); 

Here is a visual of what im trying to do, so when they hover over zone 1 the border line of the polygon will get thicker and if the click on the div the relevant polygon will be selected.

Any help appreciated guys

I see the following javascript error in the console: Uncaught TypeError: gPolygons[i].setOptions is not a function.

The poly object you are pushing on to both the gPolygons and the polygons arrays is not a google.maps.Polygon object, so it doesn't have a setOptions method.

function formPolygon(shapePoly){
  var shapeid = shapePoly.get('id');
  var res = (shapePoly.getPath().getArray());
  var coordsArr = iterateCoords(res);
  // this is not a google.maps.Polygon:
  var poly = {id:shapeid,coords:coordsArr, polycolor:shapePoly.get('fillColor')}
  polygons = $.grep(polygons, function(e){ 
    return e.id != shapeid; 
  });
  polygons.push(poly);
  // push the reference to the google.maps.Polygon into the array
  gPolygons.push(shapePoly);
  console.log(polygons);
}
