Disclaimer: this is a dodgy solution that may stop working at any time and you definitely shouldn't use this in production.

For those looking for a quick and dirty solution, this CSS worked for me:

.gm-style > div:first-child > div:first-child > div:nth-child(4) {
  z-index: 99 !important;
}

Use at your own risk!
