Linking to a specific tab in Visual Composer

I have an issue with linking to specific tabs in Visual Composer. I have added this script to change the content to the desired tab:

jQuery(window).load(function() {
if(location.hash) {
    var panelRef = (window.location.hash.substring(1));  
        jQuery(".tab-content").each(function(index) {
        if(jQuery(this).attr("id") == panelRef) {
            jQuery("#tab-1441522486246-5-7").css("display","block");
            jQuery("#tab-1441518864-1-47").css("display","none");
        } 
      });     
    }
});

The content shows up correctly but the active tab still reverts to the first one. Is there a way where I can change it using script instead?

Here's a rough idea of what I'm trying to achieve, which I'm sure is incorrect:

jQuery(window).load(function() {
if(location.hash) {
    var panelRef = (window.location.hash.substring(1));  
        jQuery(".tab-content").each(function(index) {
        if(jQuery(this).attr("id") == panelRef) {
            jQuery("#tab-1441522486246-5-7").css("display","block");
            jQuery("#tab-1441518864-1-47").css("display","none");
        } 

        var alink = document.getElementsByTagName('li').getElementsByTagName('a').attr("href");
        var blink = document.getElementsByTagName('li').getElementsByTagName('a').attr("href");
        var first = "#tab-1441518864-1-47";
        var last = "#tab-1441522486246-5-7";

        if(alink.attr("href") == first) {
            alink.toggleClass("selected");
        }

        if(alink.attr("href") == last) {
            blink.toggleClass("selected");
        }
    });     
  }
});

Any ideas?
