The Yakima HangOut 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack, part # Y02638, is indeed compatible with your 2013 Scion tC.

To avoid possible scratching, always make sure that the area where the feet of the rack will touch the vehicle are 100 percent clean and free of grit.

To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # Y02531 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle.
