Yes, the woofer and tweeter should both be swapped. Photograph the connections first, then assuming different colour wires you can confidently return them to their starting point. You would then no longer need your reversed lead - a situation that could be forgotten at some future date.

However your question about the tweeters raises another question - what exactly went wrong here? Was one of the monitors incorrectly wired somehow (just the woofer and not the tweeter)? If so which one? If the woofers and tweeters are incorrect relative to each other you'll get frequency response problems around the crossover frequency, and that might already be the case with one of the monitors. If you fix the right one (by swapping only the woofer), fine. If you fix the wrong one then both monitors could have a lumpy response. If you do nothing at all, you might still have one with a lumpy response.

That second paragraph is all just speculation, sorry if I've opened a can of worms!
